The Applications team are an integral part of the Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) within Barnardos, providing all Barnardos colleagues with support, guidance and advice for any enquiries and requests

Barnardos is entering a new phase in its long term, DDaT strategy and this role, as part of the Applications team will be key to supporting the charity as it transitions into the new strategy, focusing on automation, integration and AI.

The role includes designing, implementing, and maintaining automation and integration solutions that enhance Barnardo's digital efficiency and data flow across systems, with a particular focus on supporting Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations (D365 F&O) and the Microsoft Stack of Technologies. This role enables effective collaboration between technical and operational teams, ensuring that systems integration aligns with organisational goals, improves service delivery, and supports Barnardo's mission to transform the lives of vulnerable children and young people. The post holder will be key in driving process automation, maintaining data integrity, and enabling system interoperability across cloud platforms.

The role reports to the Senior Manager – Applications and works within the applications team, which is part of DDaT. The role itself will support senior management and project management teams to maintain a framework of support and development at all levels. The post will be a key technical resource for both project-based work and business as usual tasks.

Please note due to the high volume of applications for some posts, this advert might close before the displayed closing date. We recommend that you apply for this role as soon as possible.

We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's . We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people. 

For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which was rolled out in April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's and in time will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay. 

Whilst the full pay band and salary range is advertised, our approach to starting salaries is to appoint between the minimum to mid-point of the pay band – this ensures that pay steps are available to reward our colleagues annually based on their contribution to excellence and alignment to our values and behaviours. More details on Barnardo's pay framework can be found upon application. 

Workplace Offer: What it means for you

The world of work has changed. We are understanding of what works best for our colleagues both current and future as we look to embrace this new way of working. Our hybrid working initiative is based on trust, flexibility and empowerment. We understand our workplace offer means different things to different people, and we encourage those conversations. This may mean working at one of our stores, services, working at home, at one of our Collaboration Hubs or any combination of these.
