To support growing client demands and an expanding product range, Parallel is looking to grow its developer team and take the business to the next level.

The Graduate/Junior Developer will join a small but growing software development team to deliver a series of pipeline projects for NHS clients, to modernise technology platforms to enhance existing products and help take the business forward with new products and service offers.

This is the perfect opportunity to work in the fast-paced world of start-ups and scale-ups, but with the security of the backing of a large organisation and the support that comes from that.
