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.

What you'll be doing

  • 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

What we're looking for

  • 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

Additional information

  • 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.

Why apply?

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.
