- ASSIGNMENT weeks remote
- PROJECT weeks optional remote or in-person (to be decided in project teams)

We employ you for two years after training. During that time you'll be work with one of our amazing client partners in a placement that propels you through the first two years of your career in tech.
Our greatest strength is providing high-quality training and partnering with companies where associates will thrive. You may have strong views about where you want to work, but our focus is on placing highly-motivated individuals where they will do best, so we recommend that you be open-minded about your destination.

We invest in our students for the 5 months they are being assessed and learning - you won’t pay anything during this time. You start paying a daily fee when they start with your business as one of our associates - this is an all-inclusive cost for our service, covering attraction, recruitment, assessment, salary, benefits, ongoing training and support.
You will able to recruit our talented associates into your tech teams year-round. We are not seasonal, and are now running new cohorts each month due to increased demand.
After an initial 5 months of assessment and training, we continue to supercharge our associates' development while they're with you through regular career coaching, industry mentorship, further training, and wellbeing and mental health support. This ensures you'll benefit from highly skilled and engaged team members.
futureproof is a division of La Fosse Associates, a full-service technology recruiter. You'll work exclusively with the futureproof team but will also be a part of the wider La Fosse business - which we love! It's a great company built on care and we can't wait to have you on board.
With over a decade of technology recruitment experience through our parent company La Fosse, we were keenly aware of the supply and demand issue within software engineering. Clients struggled to hire and retain developers, and as a result became reliant on expensive contractors, outsourcing, or building offshore teams - futureproof was developed as a solution to this. We still work closely with the La Fosse team and love to do so! They have amazing clients and relationships we can continue to harness and develop.
We’re looking for people who are committed to building a community of engaged, empowered, life-long learners, and who innately believe in others and want to encourage them to explore their potential. We're hardworking but also love to create and learn together, and are on the lookout for motivated individuals to join our team.
This is the promise we make to our students, and to the companies we place them in.
