Anchor Hanover are the largest provider of specialist Housing and Care for older people in England. We are run ?not-for-profit?, with a strong balance sheet. We have over 1,700 sites in England including 114 Care homes. We provide 54,000 older people with homes including over 5,000 people in our residential care properties.

We look to the future, with an ambitious plan to build 5,700 new homes over the next 10 years.

We have developed a technology foundation based on Microsoft?s hosted services that delivers a customer and colleague portal. We have introduced Agile and DevOps methodologies during this implementation and intend to continue to use these methods to further develop additional features and capabilities on this platform.

In addition, we have implemented a Data Lake using standard Microsoft Azure technologies. This is being used to consolidate data from several sources allowing us gain insights through all our data in a single consistent way.

We are looking for someone with extensive experience in delivering high quality software solutions in an outsourced agile manner and will be willing to work within the constraints of the tools, processes and standards that Anchor have defined. Key to the success of this relationship will be clear communications, structured processes for delivery and strict adherence to Anchor?s processes including meeting all QA and Testing requirements.
