WordPress Developer (Mid-Level, Client-Facing)
Location: Office-based, Stratford St Mary (5 days a week)
Hours: 9:00am - 5:30pm, Monday to Friday
Salary: £30,000 - £35,000 per annum, depending on experience.
About the role
We're looking for a mid-level WordPress Developer to join our projects-focused web team. You'll take designs from Figma and build them out using our in-house block-based WordPress theme (Vite, Sass and ACF), working directly with clients throughout the process.
This is a hands-on build role rather than a pure back-end or DevOps position. You'll be trusted to own the front-end build of a project from design handoff through to launch, and to speak confidently with clients about progress, feedback and small scope questions along the way.
What you'll be doing
- Building WordPress websites using our in-house block-based theme (Vite + Sass + ACF)
- Converting Figma designs into accurate, responsive builds
- Developing custom Gutenberg blocks using ACF
- Writing clean, maintainable Sass and JavaScript within our theme structure
- Joining client calls and email threads to gather requirements, share progress and manage day-to-day queries
- Testing builds across browsers and devices, and fixing bugs as they come up
- Basic WooCommerce setup and troubleshooting on client sites
- Working alongside designers and other developers as part of a small team
What you'll need
- Solid hands-on experience building WordPress themes (not just using page builders)
- Strong HTML and Sass/CSS
- Working knowledge of JavaScript
- Experience with ACF (Advanced Custom Fields)
- Comfortable turning a Figma file into a working, responsive build
- Familiarity with Git for version control
- Confidence communicating directly with clients, in writing and on calls
Nice to have (not essential)
- Experience with a modern build tool such as Vite or Webpack
- WooCommerce configuration beyond the basics
- Exposure to PHP outside of WordPress templating
- An interest in eventually working with Laravel or React, as some of our larger builds use this stack
- Basic SEO awareness
Pay: £30,000.00-£35,000.00 per year
Benefits:
Application question(s):
- Do you have experience working within an Agency?
- This is a fully in-house role based in Dedham. Are you located within a reasonable distance, and are able to reliably commute to the studio Monday to Friday?
