Junior Developer/Junior Systems Developer

SQL-Focused Role | Power Platform Preferred | Hybrid Working

Hybrid working from Portishead. Three days in the office and two days work from home. You can also work from our client's offices in Stirling, Northwich, or Warrington.

This is a Junior Developer/Junior Systems Developer opportunity within a stable, multi-company group where IT supports critical systems across the organisation. You will join a close-knit team and gain hands-on experience with real production platforms, including SQL-driven reporting, internal web applications, ERP, and Microsoft Power Platform.

It is a strong role for someone who already has practical SQL query writing experience and wants to build broader skills across business systems, reporting, automation, and internal applications.

You do not need to have held the exact title Junior Developer or Junior Systems Developer to be a strong candidate. However, this role does require hands-on experience writing SQL queries.

That experience can come from commercial work, university or college study, internships, or substantial personal projects. What matters is that you have genuinely used SQL in practice, not just an introductory interest.

Power Platform experience is not essential, but the client will show a clear preference to candidates who have used Power BI and/or Power Apps in any capacity. If your SQL is strong and you have not had the chance to use Power Platform yet, you are still encouraged to apply.

Essential (must-have):

• Strong base level of SQL, with hands-on experience writing SQL queries.
• Confidence working with data, including filtering, joining tables, and extracting results.
• Evidence of practical SQL through work, study, or substantial projects.
• Strong attention to detail and a methodical, structured approach.
• Some exposure to web technologies (HTML, CSS, or JavaScript).
• Willingness to learn and develop across systems and platforms.
• Clear verbal and written communication skills in English
• Full right to work in the UK without the need for sponsorship

Preferred (strong advantage):

• Any exposure to Microsoft Power Platform, especially Power BI and/or Power Apps (light experience counts).

Useful to have (nice extras):

• QA or development testing experience.
• Familiarity with relational databases and or Git.

As a Junior Developer/Junior Systems Developer, you will support a small IT team working across live systems used by multiple businesses. You will contribute to both day-to-day support and planned improvement work, with the chance to build confidence across data, reporting, and internal applications.

You will be involved in:

• Writing and supporting SQL queries, reports, and data analysis.
• Assisting with development and maintenance of internal web-based applications.
• Supporting Power BI/Power Apps reporting and applications used across the business.
• Carrying out functional, regression, and bug-fix testing.
• Documenting changes, fixes, and basic technical processes.
• Collaborating with stakeholders to understand requirements and expected outcomes.

This is a role with real breadth. You will be exposed to a core ERP environment and connected systems, as well as ongoing projects aimed at improving processes across the group. You will also be supported in building Power Platform capability over time, while strengthening your SQL and systems experience in a production setting.

• £35,000 to £40,000
• 22 days of annual leave plus bank holidays
• 5% annual bonus
• Pension (auto-enrolment, salary sacrifice available)
• Death in service (4x salary)
• Private healthcare (employee covered; family optional via payroll)

Working hours: 40 hours per week with flexibility on start and finish times
