This thriving Tech company is thrilled to announce the requirement to hire Testers at both expert and management level due to two recently won contracts. It is truly an exciting time to join the team as the business has seen an up rise in clients and their requirements over the last year and look to push the business further than ever before! Both roles will be pivotal in achieving customer satisfaction with our newly won contracts by ensuring expectations are met through the testing of their digital environment. While the Manager will also take responsible for defining the full testing lifecycle for the company’s key customer accounts as well as internal systems; and assuring the testing strategy for a variety of technical deliverables working alongside multiple teams to ensure solutions meet requirements. The tester will focus on following test plans for key accounts and internal systems.
As part of the multi-disciplined capability centre team, your skills will need to be honed in testing Java & Oracle web applications and Windows 10 with associated applications.
To be successful, you will have 5+years Tester experience working within large enterprise environments across different sectors. You are a self-starter able to work independently while flourishing in a team environment with strong interpersonal skills, oral and written communication will be second to none, as will analytical skills. While we do not expect you to be an expert in troubleshooting you will need to have some experience in this area to enable full function in your role. With a keen eye for detail you will be able to understand and carry out business processes relating them to the testing solution. You will need to be proficient in MS Office Suite applications (MS Project, Excel, Word, PowerPoint and Visio).
You will hold a number of technical certificates and ideally ISTQB Testing qualification, with a thirst to continue your career progression and a proactive approach to continued professional development.
Tester Managers will require an additional 3+years in a similar management role with strong people management and motivation ability. Strong experience of leading the testing on large enterprise systems is a must. As is the ability to take lead and work with senior internal and external stakeholders. You will also have robust manual and automation testing experience as well as experience in system interaction and data migration.
These roles need individuals who understands the importance of flexibility in a small business and is able to adapt quickly and think on their feet. There will never be a dull day so you must work well under pressure. While you should never be afraid to ask for help where you need it, you will be expected to be an expert in your field!
The role is full time permanent and based in London with occasional travel to Bristol area (paid).

Valuation Tribunal Service
Leman Street, London E1 8EU, UK
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Information Systems Analyst to join our IT team at the Valuation Tribunal Service (VTS). This is a key role as we drive forward our IT agenda as our overall aim is to improve our services to the public – and for our employees – by developing better IT solutions for the work we do.
This role will provide exposure to a range of IT related work. Reporting to the IT Manager, you will provide a range of IT support across our network. Your responsibilities will include:
Ensuring our business developments are supported by appropriate IT solutions;
providing proactive support, advice, training and guidance to staff and stakeholders on all IT matters;
maintaining all necessary information technology procedures and ensuring that all systems are supported by the necessary documentation and manuals;
developing expertise in IT/IS systems and acting as a resource and provider of expertise to users.
In addition, you will have a good understanding of data security and information security issues and are likely to have experience in client management and system development, using software such as Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Windows OS and Sharepoint.
So that’s what we are looking for and if you think you fit the bill, we’d really welcome your application. The VTS is responsible for the administration of Council Tax and Non-Domestic Rating appeals. Monies from Council Tax and Non-Domestic Rating are significant income streams for the government – so our independent decisions on appeals impact upon that income and therefore how we interact with appellants and other parties to an appeal is critical to the provision of our services.
Our ideal candidate for this role will have had appropriate training and certification in a range of IT systems and software packages. We believe that this position will probably suit candidates who have had experience in the public sector such as central government or an NDPB as you will need to work with colleagues in those organisations – although that is by no means an essential requirement. Our longer-term intention is that this role will grow as our IT capability develops. We also anticipate that there will be a considerable degree of self-management required in dealing with your diverse workload. We really hope that this role interests you, and if so, please apply by following the instructions below.
Application details:
To apply for this role you need to send us your up-to-date CV and a short personal statement (maximum of 3 sides of A4), telling us how you meet the key requirements of the job description and person specification . We need to receive this by no later than 5pm on Thursday 14 March 2019.
Please email your application documents to: recruitment@valuationtribunal.gov.uk
The VTS is keen that its workforce should represent the communities it serves and welcomes applications from people of all backgrounds .
Please note that if you do not here from us within three weeks of the closing date you should assume you have not been successful on this occasion.

SQL Developer – £25,000-£40,000- Swindon, Wiltshire
Our Swindon based client are looking to recruit someone to join their development team who has a solid understanding of SQL and who can come in and work with their database team to help maximise the CRM system that they currently have.
You will be involved in the design and implementation of internal process improvements such as automation and improving data delivery. You will be working with large and fairly complex data sets and knowing how to manage and work around that is important. As a result of your SQL and database knowledge, you will offer an element of technical support to the database team on any queries they may have.
In addition to working with SQL – or certainly looking to improve your SQL experience – you will come into a role that will give you CRM experience, specifically MS Dynamics. Candidates with previous experience in this would certainly be encourage to apply for this. However, if you have SQL experience and CRM experience with another kind of CRM, then this would certainly be seen as a huge positive.
Experience in Web Services (REST, SOAP, WSDL, UDDI) and API would be ideal, but by no means essential in this role – however it would be something you would learn along the way.
This is a really exciting role where they need someone who can hit the ground running with SQL development but also open to leaning more about CRM and Web Services so it is a very varied and progressive role. For more information on this opportunity, please can you call me on (Apply online only) or email me at ben @ jiyuconsulting. co. uk
