You will be working for our Project Director with a team that includes a UX Designer, Web Developer and Support Manager, learning new techniques quickly and helping us develop our process for a wide range of clients and website sizes.

Things you may not know about us…
We are a design and marketing agency based in Barnstaple, North Devon. We are lucky to live and work in one of only seven UNESCO biospheres in the UK, an area with so much moorland and coastline around that there is always somewhere left to explore. We all work hard and there is always something to work on, but we don’t believe in staying at work for the sake of it. We encourage our team to leave on time at the end of the day to enjoy the local beaches, surf, coastal paths & moors. We think time in big open spaces is a great antidote to working at a desk.

We encourage our team to help our clients find the core problem/opportunity in every job and then supply a creative solution through design and/or code to solve it, helping them to grow. As a result, we don’t tend to work on average websites, there is pretty much always a twist.

We work with a range of clients from NHS Trusts and Charities to privately owned and managed SMEs in a wide range of industries.

Because we encourage our clients to make their website(s) a core part of their organisation, we end up working on:

  • Custom Elementor widgets
  • Custom plugin and short codes
  • API integrations
  • Automations
  • Data management processes
  • WordPress/Plugin functionality extensions


Kameleon operate a flat structure with no account managers, so some contact with clients is likely and encouraged. We have recently achieved international accreditations in both Quality Management and Data Security which proves we’re serious about continuous improvement in the business, but none of us take ourselves too seriously, humour and humility are important.

As a new team member your place of work would preferably be our Barnstaple Office, however we are open to hybrid work patterns if needed.


Benefits:

  • 25 days holiday, excluding bank holidays
  • Possibility of hybrid working
  • NEST pension
  • Cycle to Work scheme
  • Tech scheme
  • Annual Profit Share scheme
  • Annual training budget, for personal growth


No agencies please; direct candidates only.
