Would be nice to have (but in no way essential for the role)

- Understanding of Vanilla HTML
- Understanding of Vanilla CSS
- Broad understanding of Javascript
- Broad understanding of custom PHP development

This role will involve creating and maintaining a variety of wordpress sites that will generally be developed using pre-built themes sourced from Envato supporting a graphical page builder. Ability to work with wordpress, page builders and an eye for design is more important here than the ability to develop custom web pages. Good communication in English is also important as key stakeholders are native English speaking.

Hours of work are 9 - 6 pm PH standard working hours. The position is fulltime and includes 15 days annual leave. All national Philippines local holidays are also considered paid holidays.

Suitable parties will be shortlisted for interview in the coming weeks.
