Hampshire Web Developer required

Posted in News on: Friday, May 1, 2009 by Paul Boag

Are you a web developer living in the south of england? Once again, Headscape is looking for a talented, enthusiastic developer to join our team. We really need to stop expanding ;)

It was only 5 minutes ago we hired Helen but we are already looking to hire a new developer. We are looking for somebody with a computer science background, who is passionate about the web and can work out of our Hampshire offices.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for a server side developer who is absolutely passionate about the web and keen to develop new skills and experiences.

We are looking for somebody that loves finding innovative solutions to problems, enjoys working as part of a creative team and excels under pressure.

We need somebody with a computer science background preferably with a first or upper second degree.

Although Headscape is almost exclusively a .net development house, we do not require you to have specific experience in this language. As long as you can write great code, we will teach you the rest. (Anti-Microsoft Bigots need not apply!)

What we can offer

Headscape has a lot to offer employees. Just some of the benefits include…

  • A great working environment (watch our recent tour below)
  • The chance to attend industry conferences
  • All the training and careers development you need
  • The opportunity to work with an amazingly talented team
  • Loads of challenging and complex work that will stretch your skills
  • Some great client work to add to your CV
  • A decent office chair! :)

As for salary – Headscape always try to pay well and also pass on our success in the form of bonuses when things go well.

Where you would work

One of the best things about working for Headscape is our offices. Check out the video tour below. This was originally recorded to show people the room we have for rent. However, it also gives you a nice idea of where you would work.

The office is based in Lockerley, Hampshire. This makes it well placed for those living in Bournemouth, Winchester, Southampton, Romsey, Basingstoke and Portsmouth. However, its such a damn nice place that it is worth relocating for!

Interested?

So are you interested? If so (and you are not a recruitment agency) then email your CV to chris.scott@headscape.co.uk or call him on 01722 320596.

    Sounds great as I’m a developer/designer in Southampton already doing hosting and servers as well, having worked in I.T since 1995. Sadly I don’t have a degree in computer science and currently don’t code in .NET, although when I’ve finished learning iPhone dev (Xcode/Objective-C) it is on my list.

    Good luck!

    When I am not working on my project for Web Courses in my apartment in Bangkok, I work as a project manager in an office where the owner smokes about 10+ ciggies a day…making our office environment stinky and not that nice…so anyone getting to work with headscape is a lucky ducky!

    Really cool company you people have there. Beautifully location also.

    When I go work abroad – which I will, in due time – I want to work at a company just like this.
