Experienced Scrum Master

We are looking for a passionate agile practitioner to join the iaptus product team as a scrum master. The iaptus product team is made up of a number of scrum teams, consisting of product owners, developers, designers, and scrum masters.

We work in adherence to agile values and principles, using the scrum framework to deliver value and drive continuous improvement. We see our scrum masters as servant leaders that foster an environment for creativity and collaboration.

• Guiding the scrum team in using scrum and agile practices
• Coaching the scrum team in focusing on outcomes and value for the customer
• Removing impediments to the scrum team's progress, allowing the team to focus on delivering their sprint goal
• Coaching and empowering teams to be self-managing and find a sustainable pace
• Building a shared understanding between developers and product owners around goals, scope and product domain
• Supporting the product owners in effective management of the product backlog and refinement of backlog items
• Supporting the product owners by facilitating and finding techniques for product planning
• Facilitating scrum events using timeboxes where appropriate
• Facilitating collaboration across the organisation and stakeholders
• Enabling creative problem solving and innovation
• Creating an environment which builds trust and transparency, and enables conflicts to be handled in a healthy way
• Working with other scrum masters to improve cross-team collaboration
• Leading, training and coaching the organisation in scrum implementation and agile practices.

• Have a positive and proactive attitude to problem solving
• Have excellent facilitation skills
• Are creative, curious and courageous
• Able to adapt to and drive change
• See yourself as a servant leader for the team and wider organisation.

• You are experienced in scrum mastering a technical team
• You are experienced in coaching individuals and teams
• You have excellent communication and relationship building skills.

Please do upload the following on to the portal when you are applying:

• A covering letter describing your interest in the role, what you are passionate about and what you think you would bring to the team and to Mayden. (We do read these and enjoy hearing about you and your interests).

• Your CV (all those amazing things you achieved and done)

• A copy of your passport and if required your share code and date of birth. We need to have evidence that you are eligible to work in the UK.

Please note: Applications will not be put forward if the above are missing.

This role is not eligible for sponsorship by Mayden for a skilled worker visa. We are therefore unable to accept applications from individuals who would require an employer to sponsor them for a work permit.

We offer a phenomenal working environment, exciting opportunities to learn new skills, and an excellent package of benefits including:

• life assurance
• private health insurance
• Pension (enhanced after successful completion of probation)
• personal training and conference budget
• onsite gym
• parking, including EV charging points
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (with the option to buy or sell annual leave after probation is completed)

The position is for a full time member of our team, 37.5 hours, Monday - Friday.

Collaboration is one of our four company values - we work best together. We believe there is significant benefit from working face to face when doing so. At the same time, some work may be carried out just as effectively alone and away from the office. We have therefore created a flexible 'place of work' policy that asks everyone to be where the work of the day is best completed and overall spend enough time in the office with others to maintain relationships and communication.

This means there are no fixed days, or number of days, when you should be in the office or can work at home. In any given week you may need to work from the office everyday or no days! It all depends on the work being done and you are expected to be flexible. Many people find this approach means they work in the office 3 or more days a week but this varies according to role and the work they have to do.

Our Place of Work policy is available on request.

You must be eligible to live and work in the UK. This role is not eligible for sponsorship by Mayden for a skilled worker visa. We are therefore unable to accept applications from individuals who would require an employer to sponsor them for a work permit.

Please note that successful applicants will be asked to complete a basic DBS check as part of their onboarding process. These checks are processed by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and will be paid for by Mayden. The need for DBS screening follows requirements from our customers and NHS England.

Mayden is a growing software company, awarded Development Team of the Year at the 2018 UK IT Industry awards and finalists again in 2021. We love that the work we do makes a difference in healthcare, changing what's possible for clinicians and patients.

Mayden has a flat management structure and a coaching culture, with team members working together and supporting one another to make things happen.

Accessibility best practices and standards are important to us and our customers, you don't have to have experience in all of these, just a willingness to learn.
