Questions about these roles
How many contract PHP jobs in the UK are there right now?
We are tracking 11 live vacancies across 9 employers. The crawler revisits employer careers pages continuously and roles disappear from this page as soon as they come down, so the count reflects what is genuinely open today.
Can these roles be done remotely?
73% are advertised as fully remote and 9% as hybrid. The rest are on-site or do not say — where an employer is silent we leave it blank rather than guessing.
Which employers are hiring?
The most active right now are Siftware, Globaltechcollective, Radleyjames, Hervess and Pink Fish. Every vacancy links straight to that employer's own careers page — we are an aggregator, not the hiring company, and there is no middleman between you and the application.
Can you work from home as a PHP developer in the UK?
9 of the 11 live adverts here offer home working in some form — 8 fully remote and 1 hybrid. Fully remote means the advert states no office requirement; hybrid means it names a split.
Are there entry-level or graduate PHP developer jobs in the UK?
Not right now — every live advert here signals mid-level experience or above. Graduate intakes are seasonal, so this is worth checking again rather than reading as a permanent state of the market.
What job titles are used for this role?
Employers on this page advertise it as Freelance PHP Developer, Freelance PHP Developer Role, Frontend Developer – Contract, Web Developer (Freelance) and SAP Basis Administrator. Searching one wording and not another is the most common way people miss vacancies, which is why this page groups them.
How much experience do these roles need?
The largest group is mid level (91% of the page). Seniority is read from the job title, so a role that does not signal a level in its title is counted as mid-level.
