Questions about these roles
How many graduate and junior Java jobs in the UK are there right now?
We are tracking 40 live vacancies across 27 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.
What do graduate and junior Java jobs in the UK pay?
The median advertised ceiling is £40,000, based on the 8 of these roles that publish a figure. The middle half of the market runs from £26,000 to £55,000. Contract day rates are annualised so they compare against permanent salaries.
Can these roles be done remotely?
20% are advertised as fully remote and 30% as hybrid. The rest are on-site or do not say — where an employer is silent we leave it blank rather than guessing.
Are these contract or permanent roles?
Every role here that states a basis is permanent. Contract vacancies are listed separately.
Which employers are hiring?
The most active right now are Sernovafinancial, 9Tree, Spartaglobal, Wearemarmion and Elginwhite. 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.
What other skills do these roles ask for?
Most often C#, Python, SQL, C++ and JavaScript. That is counted from the live adverts on this page rather than a fixed list, so it tracks what employers are asking for this month.
How much does a Java developer earn in the UK?
£40,000 is the middle of what is advertised here, which is 27% below the £55,000 median across UK IT as a whole. Read it as the ceiling an employer is advertising towards rather than an offer: 32 of these adverts name no figure at all, and those are the ones where asking early is worth most.
Can you work from home as a Java developer in the UK?
20 of the 40 live adverts here offer home working in some form — 8 fully remote and 12 hybrid. Fully remote means the advert states no office requirement; hybrid means it names a split.
Are there entry-level or graduate Java developer jobs in the UK?
40 of the roles on this page read as graduate or junior level, which is 100% of what is live. Level is read from the job title, so a role advertised without one is counted as mid-level and may still be open to less experience.
What job titles are used for this role?
Employers on this page advertise it as Junior Software Developer, Junior Test Engineer, Junior Android Developer, IT Junior Software Engineer and Junior/ Senior Full Stack Developer. Searching one wording and not another is the most common way people miss vacancies, which is why this page groups them.
