* Lead the development, maintenance, and enhancement of the ThinkEDI web application.
* Mentor and manage two full-time Software Development Apprentices, providing technical guidance and support.
* Oversee full-stack development, including front-end UI/UX improvements, back-end database management, and API integrations.
* Implement cybersecurity best practices to ensure data protection and compliance with relevant regulations.
* Design and manage cloud databases, ensuring efficiency, security, and scalability.
* Develop and integrate AI-driven functionalities to enhance platform capabilities.
* Ensure the platform is fully accessible and compliant with WCAG guidelines.
* Lead the agile development process, prioritising tasks and managing project timelines effectively.
* Collaborate with stakeholders to refine system requirements and improve functionality.
* Work on public sector system integrations, where required.
