• Perform ongoing website maintenance, including theme and plugin updates, backup management, link repairs, and security monitoring.
• Test cross-browser performance, optimize page load speeds, resolve display glitches, and maintain WCAG accessibility compliance.

• Experience in front-end development using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and popular Content Management Systems.
• Practical experience in customizing and managing WordPress websites using Elementor.
• Ability to write custom CSS for layout modifications and pixel-perfect design execution.
• Demonstrated background in website maintenance, site speed optimization, and plugin administration.
• Proven capability to implement and test third-party scripts, widgets, and custom site features.
• Strong problem-solving skills to diagnose layout conflicts, browser compatibility issues, and plugin errors independently.
• Ability to work remotely while meeting agreed project milestones and collaborating effectively with UX/UI design teams.
• Must be based in the UK with a minimum of three years of professional experience using these skills (or relevant lived experience).

This role may be suitable for UK-based web developers, WordPress specialists, or front-end engineers who wish to contribute their technical skills to a social cause. Candidates who enjoy working closely with designers to convert visual concepts into high-performing digital interfaces will find this work aligned with their abilities. Additionally, individuals looking for a flexible, remote volunteer commitment that requires a minimum of six hours per week over a six-month period may consider this opportunity well-suited to their schedule.

Applicants may want to highlight relevant experience with WordPress management, Elementor page building, and custom CSS implementations in their CV or portfolio. Emphasizing past projects that involved design-to-web conversions, plugin integrations, or site performance optimizations can showcase relevant capabilities. Candidates may also consider detailing any previous experience in remote collaboration, web accessibility, or maintaining digital platforms for non-profit organizations.
