The eQS Company

When we think about education, we think about the wonderment of learning and the endless opportunities in life it can bring. But what if there are barriers to learning?

Assistive technology (AT) is designed to improve an individual’s ability to access the world around them, such as accessing learning in education, the workplace and the wider world.

eQuality Solutions is a group of sister companies that share a passion for supporting inclusivity and neurodiversity with personalised learning solutions.

This passion stems from our founder, Chris Quickfall, who discovered he was dyslexic when he was 21, whilst studying at university. Having experienced the equipment and services available first-hand, Chris’ desire to improve the quality of support for all higher education students receiving Disabled Students Allowance (DSA), fuelled the launch of our three companies.

eQuality Solutions is made up of Invate, an AT equipment and software provider, e-Quality Learning, a one-to-one AT training provider, and Learning Labs, an AT e-learning portal.

Our goal is to help people to get the most out of their assistive technology (AT), and therefore, achieve their full potential in life.

 

The Role

eQuality Solutions is looking for a Software Developer to join our rapidly growing Sales and Marketing Team. The role of Software Developer is to accelerate the production of our high-quality software, which is greatly valued by our end users, staff and stakeholders.

Learning Labs is designed to help people get the most out of their assistive technology, and therefore, in achieving their full potential in life. Any successful applicants will be given a login to access https://app.learninglabs.co/.

The eQS Software Developer’s aim is to develop an already established product into a world-class e-learning platform. Currently operating within the Government’s Disabled Student Allowance (DSA) fund, our aggressive growth plans include expanding into the workplace learning sector, and into new educational markets across the globe. Development plans include creating multiple user types and increasing the complexity and commercial potential of the product.

The Software Developer works on all points in the development cycle: design, acceptance criteria, development, QA and continuous integration of our software. The role ensures features are built using sound engineering principle and good patterns, using Azure Devops (TFS), Team City, C# .Net web stack and SQL Server.
