Software Developer

Add new developer talent to your business through our software developer apprenticeships.

Hiring a Software Developer

Software developers are increasingly in demand as organisations across all sectors digitise. Digital is the fourth industrial revolution, and many employers are now looking to create their own developer team.

The primary role of a developer is building and testing high-quality code across front end, logic and database layers. They have the skills and knowledge to interpret design documentations and specifications in order to meet internal and external requirements.

What our clients say

We used Just IT to find an apprentice for us at ManSys limited. This was primarily to aid in the development of our applications. Just IT made the process so smooth, we’d be happy to hire more apprentices when the needs arise. We can’t recommend them enough.

Just IT’s dedicated coaches have proven really flexible in terms of the training our apprentices complete. Our partnership has helped set up the apprentices for success as future professionals in the industry.

I have used Just IT’s apprentices for approximately 7 years. The caliber of candidates is invariably high, and the mentors spend plenty of time with them to ensure they are on track at all times.

Greg Gawthorpe End User Support Manager @ CMC Markets

We have had two apprentices through Just IT. The service was attentive, and they supported them through their journey to completion of the qualification. We would recommend Just IT as a provider.

Our apprenticeship programmes

We’ve created a full-stack developer apprenticeship programme.

Over 23 months, using a holistic approach with modern tech, our programme covers:

  • The software development life cycle and object-oriented programming
  • Front end: HTML5, CSS using Bootstrap, JavaScript, JSON and UI design
  • Server:ASP.NET and MVC design pattern
  • Database: SQL, NO SQL, Transact-SQL, ADO.net and LINQ
  • Version control and testing
  • RESTful API

Structured, spaced training allows learners to spend more time in the workplace to practice and apply what they’ve learned, rather than long stretches of time out of the office and then struggling to remember and apply.

Experienced Software Developer coaches support apprentices in the workplace to apply techniques they’ve learned and bespoke the training to the apprentices’ organisations.

Combined with our free recruitment service, this apprenticeship is a great way to build a pipeline of junior coding talent.
