Senior Blue Prism Developer

Contract | Outside IR35 | £500-550/day | South West/Hybrid

We're supporting a secure public sector organisation in the South West as they establish an in-house automation capability and are seeking an experienced Lead Blue Prism Developer to help shape, stabilise and scale the function.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role suited to someone who has successfully delivered enterprise-grade automations and enjoys building capability as well as technology. You'll play a key role in helping establish the automation function from an early stage, shaping standards, delivery approaches and best practice while remaining close to technical delivery.

This is not a pure management role - we're looking for someone who remains hands-on, technically credible and comfortable leading from the front.

• Helping establish and shape an emerging automation capability
• Providing hands-on technical leadership across Blue Prism delivery
• Designing, developing and supporting enterprise automations
• Helping define governance, standards and sustainable delivery approaches
• Working closely with stakeholders to prioritise automation opportunities
• Supporting and mentoring capability as the function grows

• Strong hands-on Blue Prism development experience
• Previous experience operating as a Senior RPA Developer, Technical Lead or Senior Blue Prism specialist
• Demonstrable experience delivering 10+ end-to-end Blue Prism automations
• Experience across the full automation life cycle, from process assessment through to deployment and optimisation
• Experience helping build or mature automation capability
• Comfortable working in stakeholder-heavy, operationally complex environments
• Experience within public sector, regulated or secure environments advantageous

• Outside IR35
• £500-550/day DOE
• 6-12 month engagement
• Hybrid working with regular onsite presence in the South West
• Due to the nature of the environment, candidates must be eligible to undergo enhanced background checks including 5 years UK residency.

This is an opportunity to shape an automation capability at an early stage in a secure, operationally important environment where the work has genuine impact. You'll have the opportunity to influence approach, delivery and maturity from the outset while remaining close to hands-on engineering.
