Job description

OSP are looking for a Junior Frontend Developer to join our small, friendly product team working on a modern, high-impact digital application. This is an ideal role for someone early in their career who’s excited to build real-world products, learn from experienced developers, and grow their frontend skills in a supportive environment.

You’ll work on React-based frontends, collaborating closely with designers, developers, and product stakeholders, and be willing to communicate effectively with the wider team. 

What you’ll be doing

• Building and improving UI components using React and modern Typescript
• Turning designs and wireframes into responsive, user-friendly interfaces
• Working with APIs to display data in the frontend (with guidance and support)
• Fixing bugs, making small enhancements, and gradually taking ownership of features
• Taking part in code reviews, team discussions, and agile ceremonies 

Essential

• Front-End Basics: A working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and Javascript
• Practical React Exposure: Some hands-on experience with React (through a job role, placement, bootcamp, degree, or personal projects)
• Curiosity and Keen Learner: Enthusiastic about developing your skills and open to feedback
• Team Player: Comfortable working with colleagues across the business and asking questions when you’re unsure
• Problem-Solving Mindset: Able to think logically through UI challenges, even if you don’t yet know the perfect solution

Desirable

• Basic TypeScript familiarity
• Using modern frontend tooling/libraries such as Vite, Tailwind CSS, or MaterialUI
• Experience consuming APIs or working with asynchronous data
• Some awareness of responsive design and accessibility
• Familiarity with Git and basic version control workflows

What we offer

• Hybrid-working opportunities
• Support and mentorship from experienced developers
• The chance to work on real products
• Opportunities to grow your skills and take on more responsibility over time as the role develops 
• A collaborative, respectful team environment where learning is encouraged

This is a full-time role working in our Bournemouth office. After an initial probation period, there is scope to move to a hybrid working model.

The interview process will be in three stages:

1. First round: interview with HR Director to check communication skills and compatibility with OSP.
2. Second round: interview with members of our development team.
3. Third round: in-person interview with Managing Director at Bournemouth offices

The starting salary for this role is £27,000.00 to £31,000.00 DOE
