Are you driven to learn and help people solve problems?  Do you enjoy working with others? We are looking for a creative problem solver to join our Drupal support team. The role involves working with a large and diverse portfolio of Drupal clients helping us to deliver exceptional service.

You will be working directly with many of our clients, responding to support tickets and helping them with their web based issues.  It's essential you are confident and skilled in working with people both face to face and over the phone, as this role is driven by problem solving, but the essence of it lies in customer service.

Ahh, remember those heady days of '97 with Tony Blairs magic words ringing out “education, education, education”?

Well, I have spent the past two days with the delightful folk at Manchester Digital attending an insightful conference on education and a student recruitment event, TalentDay.

Manchester Digital is the independent trade association the digital sector in the North West of England and one of its aims is to bridge the gap between industry and education.

The director of the CBI in the North West, Damian Waters, has today highlighted that the growth of the creative sector could be hampered by the lack of relevant skills being taught.

The report details recommendations for the Government to introduce higher levels of computer programming and software development courses. Further, the CBI want to see greater collaboration with universities to ensure that courses are relevant to the working world.
