Project description:

This is a fantastic opportunity to get involved in the ongoing development of Cocoon Kids – Creative Counselling and Play Therapy CIC. Our vital not-for-profit therapeutic service for priority children and young people, and their families depends on our financial resilience. By volunteering as Software Engineer or Developer Volunteer you can help our CIC grow and develop to our next stage by ensuring that we have the funds to sustain and develop the service, and help us to realise our ambition of being a service for our community and beyond.

We’re urgently looking for a Software Engineering or Developer Volunteer, responsible for contributing to software design and software development of our web based mental health and wellbeing app. We need help with:

• Creating secure and reliable software solutions
• Collaborate with our team to develop our current Minimum Viable Product 
• Updating and maintaining our website
• Developing applications (coding, programming)
• Debugging and testing code
• Documenting and testing new software applications
• Researching, investigating and fixing a wide range of technical issues
• Collaborating with our team to meet a brief
• Approaching problems and creating solutions
• Proactively learning about any new technologies that may be useful for the web app, and/or, other areas we can develop in

We’ve got a newly formed, small team building upon the excellent work on our app that the trainee Software Development team at Tech for Better did. This role can be fully remote.
