Join Companies House, where you can be part of an exciting transformation in the world of corporate governance! Our organisation is at the forefront of change, empowered by new, ground-breaking legislation like the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Bill.
Companies House is a place of digital innovation where you will develop our software services using languages such as Javascript (both in browser and NodeJS runtime environments) and Java, and frameworks such as Express and Spring. We also have J2EE based historic applications. Over time you will be expected to become familiar with all these technologies - training will be provided. We are also a team who uses agile practices, try new technologies and work flexibly to suit every individual.
This role is instrumental for us to deliver on our goals as an organisation. You would be key in leading our Software Developers, providing coaching and mentoring to them and delivering at pace.
We encourage innovation and training; each developer is given time to undertake innovation and training within their regular activities. This allows teams to try out new things, stay up to date with industry trends and encourage professional development. We provide access to online training platforms, access to instructor led training and ability to attend conferences (budgets permitting).
Our approach to hybrid working provides opportunities for you to be adaptable in the way you work so that you can achieve a healthy balance between your work and home life. We currently expect people to attend their base office a minimum of one day a week but the exact degree of choice you have will depend on your role and your day-to-day work activities and should be agreed through discussions with your line manager.
Companies House offers a flexible and welcoming culture that promotes a healthy work life balance as well as a proactive approach to wellbeing that allows us to be our best at work. We recognise that people are the key to our success so offer a fantastic benefits package including flexible working with no core hours, 30 days annual leave, 8 bank holidays and 1 privilege day as well as enrolment into the Civil Service Pension scheme with a contribution rate averaging 28%.
