We are seeking a skilled and motivated ServiceNow Developer to join our team, supporting the delivery of high-quality ServiceNow solutions across a range of public and private sector projects. Working closely with a Lead Technical Consultant and experienced team members, you’ll be responsible for developing and configuring solutions in line with agreed user stories, using established standards and platform best practices.

Methods

Methods is an established £100m Digital Transformation company, part of the Alten Group, which over the last 30+ years has provided innovative business and digital technology services. We have over 50 active clients many of which have been working with us for more than 10 years.

Since our establishment in 1990, Methods has partnered with a range of central government departments and agencies to transform the way the public sector operates in the UK. Our mission is to improve and safeguard public-facing services. We apply digital thinking to ensure the future of our public services is centred around our citizens.

Our human touch sets us apart from other consultancies, system integrators and software houses - we have a customer-centric value system whereby we focus on delivering what is right for our clients. We passionately support our clients in the success of their projects while working collaboratively to share skill sets and solve problems. At Methods we have fun while working hard; we are not afraid of making mistakes and learning from them.

Predominantly focused on the public-sector, Methods is now building a significant private sector client portfolio. Methods was acquired by the Alten Group in early 2022.

Headquartered in central London, with seven regional offices, the company has over 300 colleagues in an organisation centred around distinct portfolio offerings and a further central support services function.  Methods delivers multi-disciplinary and full-lifecycle services in a range of specialisms, all related to transitioning from monolithic legacy estates to new, user-centric, cloud and hybrid-based models.  The company is a national leader in combining user-centred digital service design with cloud-based open architecture and modern technology services.
