The NRLA: Who we are
The NRLA is the UK’s largest organisation representing private residential landlords, a community of over 110,000 members across England and Wales. We’re on a mission to transform how landlords manage their properties, stay compliant, and operate day to day. And that means building the next generation of digital tools that will define the private rented sector for years to come.
We’re not here to be average. We’re carving out a bold digital path and building the foundations of what will become the operating system for the Private Rental Sector (PRS). To do that, we need talented, curious, forward-thinking developers who want to stretch themselves, learn new stacks, and help shape genuinely meaningful technology.
Recognised with Investors in People Gold and named by The Sunday Times as one of the UK’s best companies to work for, we offer a supportive, ambitious environment where innovation isn’t just welcomed, it’s expected. With hybrid working from our Manchester and London hubs, you’ll join a team that values professional growth, collaboration, and the desire to push boundaries.
If you want to build purposeful tech, upskill across multiple modern stacks, and play a key role in shaping the NRLA’s digital future, we’d love to hear from you.

Maximo/MAS Engineer - consultancy
£35-65k p.a.(CWE)
About our client:
Our client is an exciting, innovative expanding Maximo consulting partner. They work with the world’s largest enterprises to modernise critical operations built on IBM Maximo. They don’t just implement the IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS) — they rebuild how it’s delivered, maintained, and transformed. They have engineered their own tools using React, IBM Carbon, and WatsonX to analyse, automate, and accelerate delivery. They deploy across Azure, AWS, vSphere, and containerise with Red Hat OpenShift to make Maximo future-ready — fast.
What really sets them apart though is their people. They look at broken processes and see opportunities, who bring structure to complexity, who never say “it’s always been done this way.” Our client doesn’t just hire them — they invest in them, mentor them, and give them space to grow.
Who you are:
You’re starting out, but you already know you’re not here to coast. You want the real problems — and the skills to solve them.
• You learn fast and think clearly.
• You’re not afraid of enterprise complexity — you’re curious about it.
• You value shipping over showing off.
• You care about doing work that matters, not just ticking boxes.
Required skills:
* Tools & Platforms (Preferred Exposure): IBM Maximo / MAS, React, Git, container platforms (OpenShift, Docker)
* Cloud & Infrastructure Awareness: Basic knowledge of Azure, AWS, or vSphere deployments
* Coding & Scripting (EntryLevel): Basic Python or JavaScript understanding, eagerness to work with automation scripts
What you’ll do:
• Support Maximo and MAS projects — upgrades, config, scripting, automation, testing.
• Help build and evolve our client’s internal tools and automation frameworks.
• Learn infrastructure and deployment strategies across Azure, AWS, vSphere, and OpenShift.
• Shadow experienced consultants and contribute to real enterprise transformation work.
• Work on code, config, data, and delivery — and start to own pieces of it.
What our client actually does:
• Full-cycle MAS implementations and upgrades.
• Legacy refactor and retirement of Java customisations.
• Cloud-native deployment on Azure, AWS, and vSphere (with OpenShift orchestration).
• Data governance, asset hierarchy design, and master data tooling.
• Automation and modernisation powered by WatsonX.
Why this company?
Because they work where it matters — in the systems the world still runs on.
Because they build with speed, scale, and accountability.
Because they believe in their people, and give them work that builds careers — not just resumes. You’ll learn fast. You’ll contribute early. And you’ll become part of a team that’s reshaping how enterprise software gets delivered.
Core Competencies for Recruiter Screening:
Category Competency
Foundational Skills: Critical thinking, curiosity, clear communication
Technical Aptitude: Understanding of software architecture, willingness to work with enterprise systems
Tools & Platforms (Preferred Exposure): IBM Maximo / MAS, React, Git, container platforms (OpenShift, Docker)
Cloud & Infrastructure Awareness: Basic knowledge of Azure, AWS, or vSphere deployments
Coding & Scripting (Entry-Level): Basic Python or JavaScript understanding, eagerness to work with automation scripts
Attitude & Growth: Resilient, coachable, eager to work hands-on in real-world projects
Team Fit: Collaborative, low-ego, able to ask good questions and take ownership

Humanists UK
London based office (Remote options available)
Closing date: 12 February, 2024
We are looking for a PHP developer to help us maintain and grow our infrastructure, especially our CRM. Your job will be to develop new features and sometimes entire systems. Your main role will be development, but you may occasionally be called into support end-users.
Also: sometimes you’ll be bug hunting in existing platforms, and sometimes we’ll drop everything to respond to a political event. And sometimes you’ll be working with the Director of IT to reimagine the fundamentals.
We need someone able to turn their hand to anything in a complex system, as well as willing to learn the right tool for the job. You don’t have to be an expert, just happy to learn and try.
We also want to develop our automated testing and general DevOps approach – if you can help with that, fantastic.
Qualifications
The job is heavy on PHP, focusing on our (heavily-customised) CiviCRM and WordPress. There’ll be javascript work too – often in Gutenberg, which is basically React. We use javascript frameworks for front end work: bespoke forms, petitions, donations, and the occasional sprinkling of magic. But we’re not building complex SPAs and you don’t need to be a full React/Vue/etc developer. If you find htmx pleasing, this may be the job for you.
We’re looking for someone who is motivated by a good cause and who springs into action with ideas and solutions. You might be working in a junior tech role and looking for a promotion, or interested in a lateral move to a charity so you can dedicate yourself to a cause you really care about.
Our ideal candidate probably has a few years of experience as a software engineer or website developer already, but we’re much more interested in raw talent, knowledge, and enthusiasm than we are in someone with X years of experience.
As such, we are open to working with new graduates. This is a great first job: you’ll get experience with all sorts of tools and systems, and we iterate fast: your work will be deployed quickly and regularly. There’s also a lot of flexibility to implement modern systems and leave your mark. But you’ll need to demonstrate that you have experience with the technologies we’re using and what we’re trying to achieve.
Either way, you’ll need to be someone who is self-motivated, efficient, and who takes real pride in their work. You’ll show patience and understanding when discussing tickets and needs brought to the IT team by non-technical colleagues, exploring the nuts and bolts of how their areas of the organisation work, and at times directing them to reshape and redefine what they need.
We put a high priority on being able to see things from the perspective of a less-IT-literate user. We believe this is key to developing successful systems. This comes from our axiom that an IT department should maintain a positive and friendly relationship with all staff and volunteers. So you’ll need to demonstrate some experience of understanding user experience – be it from IT support, testing, or similar.

Full time
Closing date: 12 February, 2024
We are looking for a PHP developer to help us maintain and grow our infrastructure, especially our CRM. Your job will be to develop new features and sometimes entire systems. Your main role will be development, but you may occasionally be called into support end-users.
Also: sometimes you’ll be bug hunting in existing platforms, and sometimes we’ll drop everything to respond to a political event. And sometimes you’ll be working with the Director of IT to reimagine the fundamentals.
We need someone able to turn their hand to anything in a complex system, as well as willing to learn the right tool for the job. You don’t have to be an expert, just happy to learn and try.
We also want to develop our automated testing and general DevOps approach – if you can help with that, fantastic.
Qualifications
The job is heavy on PHP, focusing on our (heavily-customised) CiviCRM and WordPress. There’ll be javascript work too – often in Gutenberg, which is basically React. We use javascript frameworks for front end work: bespoke forms, petitions, donations, and the occasional sprinkling of magic. But we’re not building complex SPAs and you don’t need to be a full React/Vue/etc developer. If you find htmx pleasing, this may be the job for you.
