About ShiftCare

ShiftCare is Australia’s #1 care management platform — trusted by over 5,500 providers and 150,000+ care workers across Australia, New Zealand, and the US. We’re helping care teams spend less time on admin and more time with their clients through intuitive, easy-to-use software.

Our website is a key channel for inbound growth. We're embarking on a full website rebuild to create a modern, SEO-optimised, conversion-friendly experience and we’re looking for someone who can own both the technical development and the project delivery of that transformation.

The Role

We’re hiring a WordPress Developer & Web Project Manager to lead the end-to-end migration of our current static site (built on a custom Systemic stack) to a scalable, high-performing WordPress site. You’ll manage the rebuild from planning through to go-live — and stay on as the owner of the site’s ongoing performance, publishing, and improvements.

This role is perfect for someone who enjoys working across both hands-on development and project delivery, with an eye for performance, quality, and business outcomes.

Post-Launch Ownership

Monitor site performance (Core Web Vitals), SEO rankings, and uptime
Implement and track A/B tests and user behaviour tools (e.g., Hotjar)

Continuously improve page performance, structure, and publishing flexibility
