WordPress Developer for Charity Website: 12 month maintenance and improvement retainer

Posted 6 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

We are a global maternal health research network (PrAKI.org) seeking a reliable WordPress developer for a 12-month retainer at 150 GBP/month, structured as monthly milestones. The first month will run as a paid trial before we commit to the full term. The site runs on a Donat theme with managed hosting (xneelo). The role has three parts: fix a set of current issues, maintain the site (security, updates, backups), and improve it with new pages and features as our work grows. We will share the known issues list with shortlisted candidates. We need someone who can write custom code, not just configure paid plugins. Strong WordPress skills required (PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript), plus a dependable, responsive working style. Experience with non-profit, academic, or health sites is a bonus. We work async. We hold a weekly team meeting and would share the minutes and any required website updates from that, rather than needing a separate call. You should be comfortable picking up clearly written instructions and running with them. We will agree priorities each week and keep the workload to a steady monthly rhythm. A few practicalities: we expect work to be done on a staging site, not live. Any custom code you write belongs to us, and access remains ours to manage. We also ask that you keep simple notes or a changelog of what you do, so the work is documented and easy to pick up. This is a chance to put your skills behind a worthwhile cause. PrAKI is a largely preventable condition that raises the odds of maternal death almost 19-fold, and is far more common in low-income settings. Our network exists to close that gap, and your work on our website directly supports the people doing it by providing a platform to share information and resources and attract funding.
