ABOUT RTBSS
RT Business System Solutions Ltd (RTBSS) is a specialist consultancy and software studio based in South Wales. We help Housing Associations and Local Authorities deliver complex technical and business transformation projects -- from data migration and integration to programme delivery and system configuration. Since forming in 2021, we've built a strong reputation for quality, technical expertise, and pragmatic delivery.
Our team of five (soon to be seven) continues to grow carefully and deliberately -- hiring people who combine skill with curiosity and care for doing things properly. We're now seeking a talented Technical Consultant to join us.
This is an opportunity to work at the heart of housing-sector transformation projects -- and to help design something entirely new: our own housing management software platform.
THE ROLE
As a Technical Consultant, you'll bridge the gap between complex technical requirements and real-world business needs. You'll lead and deliver data-driven solutions -- from migrations and integrations to reporting and automation -- across a variety of housing-sector systems such as Rubixx, MRI Housing One, and Civica Cx. You'll be responsible for analysing, designing, and implementing technical solutions that are robust, scalable, and maintainable.
The work is varied: some days you'll be deep in SQL scripts, optimising a migration routine or building a data warehouse; other days you'll be leading client workshops, creating documentation, or guiding a go-live cutover. Alongside client delivery, you'll also play a part in developing Frontier Housing -- our own cloud based housing management system for smaller providers (under 1,000 assets).
During quieter project periods, you'll collaborate with our in-house development team, helping to design data models, APIs, and integration frameworks that solve the problems housing organisations face today.
