Solihull Council are looking for an experienced Drupal web developer to join the central web team and develop our corporate website. This new role for the Council will work collaboratively with our in-house website content editors and our external website agency who host and maintain the site.

You will stay on top of the latest web trends and best practice, ensuring our website is constantly evolving.
This role is a fantastic opportunity to become an active member of LocalGov Drupal, providing you with access to a community of web developers, collaboratively developing new features and fixes for local authority websites.
The role is designed for someone who is able to troubleshoot and resolve website issues and bugs in a timely manner, alongside being reactive to changing priorities and demands.

We also offer:

• Flexible working arrangements – including hybrid working
• Generous annual leave entitlements with opportunity to buy up to 10-days additional leave per year
