Python Job: Junior Software Developer

About us

InLife is a rapidly growing, financially healthy social enterprise with a vision that all people with disability live full and fulfilling lives. We help to make this happen by supporting our clients and their carers with high quality, hassle-free personal assistance in the home.

As well as the basics of personal care and support, we provide a supportive and empowering environment to help navigate life's choices and opportunities. Everyone at InLife is working towards the same purpose: to positively transform the experience of disability support. With a genuine desire to make a difference, we believe we're doing it, one team at a time.

We understand that if we're serious about our vision to transform the experience of disability support (and we are!), we need to employ great people and help them perform at their best. No matter whether you work directly with our clients or behind-the-scenes at InLife HQ, you'll play an important part in making sure we deliver outstanding service.

The role

A user-friendly, fully cloud-based platform and efficient operational systems are our backbone, freeing up our outstanding team of disability professionals to focus on direct client support. Our current processes and systems have served us well, but it is now the time to take a step back and figure out what's required to scale the business well into the future.

We have recently developed an exciting vision for this future state, that defines how a tech savvy disability agency can use the latest tools and innovations to create an outstanding experience for both clients and staff. The Junior Developer will be a key member of the Technology Team, responsible for the delivery and support of various internal initiatives within the Transformation roadmap.
