Senior Software Engineer

Proudly an e-commerce venture, our client has been trailblazing within their speciality for well over a decade. They uniquely provide their loyal clientele with a true one-stop online luxury antique jewellery destination, where these affordable treasures can be easily accessed.

Thanks to the founders’ phenomenal ability to source the most desirable vintage pieces, their carefully curated collection spans every era, gemstone, and jewellery configuration imaginable. With their own dedicated workshop now located in Birmingham’s iconic Jewellery Quarter, there is now a requirement for a trade-proven Bench Jeweller to join the team.

Job Role

This opportunity offers the successful Bench Jeweller a wide scope of engaging daily bench work. Your craftsmanship will ideally complement that of your future team colleague, and together your combined expertise will enable you to tackle every task that comes your way.

Operating from this satellite workshop, your focus will be on the repair and restoration of both customer-purchased items and future stock pieces. There will also be a small amount of routine administration to complete, to ensure accurate audit trails and efficient turnaround times.

Requirements



As a skilled Jeweller, you’ll relish the challenge of restoring each item to its original lustre and structural integrity.

*

You’ll be confident in tasks such as stone setting, building component parts, and replacing full claws where necessary.

*

Expected bench skills include resizing, polishing, and laser welding. However, there will also be occasional, less typical challenges that call for a more creative and considered approach.

*

A careful, logical mindset and solid artisan understanding are essential—many pieces are unique and require a precise and respectful touch.

This role will suit a craftsperson who thrives when working with beautiful and varied precious items.
In truth, this is something of a one-off opportunity—but then again, so are you.

How to Write a Space Industry Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

The UK space sector is growing rapidly. From satellite manufacturing and launch services to Earth observation, space data, communications and downstream applications, organisations across the UK are hiring engineers, scientists, software specialists and operations professionals to support increasingly complex space missions. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Space industry job adverts often receive very few applications, or attract candidates whose experience does not align with the realities of space programmes. At the same time, experienced space professionals frequently ignore adverts that feel vague, over-ambitious or disconnected from how space projects actually operate. In most cases, the issue is not a lack of talent — it is the clarity and quality of the job advert. Space professionals are systems-focused, risk-aware and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals weak programme maturity and unrealistic expectations. A clear, well-written one signals credibility, technical seriousness and long-term intent. This guide explains how to write a space industry job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a credible employer in the UK space sector.

Maths for Space Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

UK space careers can look intimidating from the outside. Job adverts mention “systems engineering” “mission assurance” “GN&C” “RF” “payloads” “flight dynamics” “verification” “ECSS” & suddenly you’re wondering if you need a maths degree just to apply. You don’t. For most UK space jobs, the maths you actually use clusters into a handful of practical topics that map directly to real work across satellites, launch, ground segment, downstream data, mission ops & space software. This article strips it down to what matters most for job readiness plus a 6-week learning plan, portfolio projects & a resources section you can use immediately. UK space is also actively focused on growth & skills. The government’s National Space Strategy sets ambitions to grow the UK’s space ecosystem & spread employment across the UK. The Space Sector Skills Survey 2023 highlights recruitment challenges plus the importance of new skills & technologies including AI & ML. Recent industry reporting also estimates UK space industry employment at 55,550 FTEs plus wider supply-chain jobs. So learning the right maths is not an academic exercise. It’s a practical way to widen the roles you can credibly target.

Neurodiversity in UK Space Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

The UK space sector has quietly become one of the most exciting places to build a career. From small satellites & launch services to Earth observation, navigation, in-orbit servicing & space data startups, the industry needs people who can solve hard problems in smart ways. Those people are not all “typical” engineers or scientists – and that’s a strength, not a weakness. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for precision work in the space sector. In reality, many of the traits that made school or previous jobs difficult can be major assets in space engineering, mission operations & space data roles. This guide is written for neurodivergent job seekers exploring UK space careers. We’ll look at: What neurodiversity means in a space industry context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to common space roles Practical workplace adjustments you can request under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in the UK space sector – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine superpower.
