## About the Role

You should be educated to degree level, or equivalent, in a related subject. Bringing a solid foundation in technical programming, including program design, coding in relevant languages, working with framework environments, and applying design patterns.

Being self-motivated, you should be committed to continuous improvement, embracing change and actively seeking opportunities to enhance your skills and performance. Ideally, you have experience working in a junior development role within a team environment and have contributed to successful delivery in a Scrum or Agile, multi-disciplinary setting. Exposure to the technologies used by the NBS Group, as well as experience working within a managed risk culture, would be beneficial.

## Description
