Would you like to join Direct Life during an exciting period of change? Would you like to help steer the Company towards a bright technological future? Do you have exposure to legacy technologies as well as cutting edge?
Who are Direct Life?
We are Life Insurance brokers, who have been trading for 28 years, based in smart city centre offices in Chichester. We provide a range of systems and services (Life Insurance and Protection Products) that enable consumer brands and intermediaries to market and transact protection insurance in the UK, both compliantly and profitably.
Now a little about the role...
You'd be designing, coding and testing computer software. The skill set we are looking for;
ASP.NET, Classic ASP, C#, VB.NET, SQL queries, JavaScript, MVC
Azure, Angular, React, C#, PowerShell
Working on site is required initially, however after a while a degree of remote working would be acceptable.
What does our ideal candidate look like?
You would be willing to move between Dev, Test and Ops. Any exposure to automated management of systems would be highly desirable. You'd also be hardworking, enthusiastic with a good sense of humour. An interest in the Financial Services Industry and some experience in this field would be a bonus but is not essential.
What to do next?
If you feel you are the right fit and have the required skillset then we'd love to hear from you. Just apply for the role, giving us as much information about you as possible and we will be in touch soon!
"When I first joined the company I started as a Case Manager Assistant and within 3 weeks I was promoted to a Case Manager! The training that I had acquired as an Assistant laid a solid foundation for the extended training that was required to become a Case Manager. Everyone in the team was very welcoming and kind, and they were happy to help me with any queries that I had.
The office is a friendly, welcoming, happy and safe place and everyone has a laugh whilst working hard. This job is a fantastic opportunity to start my career and I would highly recommended working here to anyone."
