Who the job is for
NTSU is searching for an enthusiastic Web & Digital Placement to join our Marketing, Communications & Digital team.
This is a brilliant opportunity for a current or recently graduated NTU student with a passion for websites and digital solutions to gain real-world experience in front-end development, digital support, and system optimisation.
What’s the job
You’ll be the go-to person for the day-to-day maintenance and front-end development of NTSU’s WordPress-based websites, making them functional, accessible, and great to use. You'll update and design site content using HTML and CSS, support digital systems across the organisation, and help identify and implement digital tools that make our work more efficient.
You’ll also help manage digital platforms such as internal forms, digital screens, SharePoint, Moodle, and form tools, while ensuring best practice in accessibility, SEO, and data protection.
What are we looking for?
We’re looking for someone with a creative eye for website design and a hands-on approach to digital development. If you enjoy creating sleek, user-friendly websites using WordPress, HTML, and CSS—and want to support an organisation that makes a real difference to students—you’ll thrive here.
Experience with JavaScript, APIs, and digital troubleshooting is a bonus, but not essential.
