Whether you're seeking a short-term contract or a longer-term engagement with potential for permanent placement, our dedicated consultants will work to find the right fit for your skills and career aspirations.
Key Responsibilities

- Troubleshooting, debugging, and upgrading existing software systems, resolving complex technical issues to ensure optimal application performance and user experience.
- Integrating software components and third-party APIs, and working with relational (e.g., SQL Server, PostgreSQL) and/or non-relational databases to build robust backend services.
What We're Looking For
- Proven commercial experience as a Software Developer, Software Engineer, or in a similar role, with a strong portfolio or GitHub profile showcasing your development projects.
- Proficiency in at least one core programming language (e.g., .NET, Java, Python) and familiarity with modern front-end frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue.js is highly desirable.
- A solid understanding of software development methodologies (Agile, Scrum), version control systems (Git), and CI/CD pipelines to support efficient project delivery.
- Excellent problem-solving skills, a proactive attitude, and the ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Salary & Benefits
We offer a highly competitive pay rate for this Software Developer (contract/) position, which will be commensurate with your level of experience, technical specialism, and the specific demands of the project. Rates are discussed transparently during the registration process and are designed to attract top-tier talent in the Wolverhampton market.

We also have a wide range of direct permanent developer roles across the region that we can discuss with you at any time.
What should I include in my CV for a developer contract application?
Focus on relevant technologies, projects, and achievements. Clearly list programming languages, frameworks, tools, and methodologies you have used.
