About Steadfast Collective
What is Steadfast Collective?
Steadfast Collective is a UK-based digital agency that crafts community-focused digital applications — websites, web applications, custom platforms, and bespoke community products. Operating for over a decade, the agency's mission verbatim: "We exist to craft community-focused digital applications. Our web applications resource communities, grow businesses and create value (both economic and social)."
The team are official Laravel Partners, Statamic Partners, and Stripe Partners — placing them in a small group of agencies with formal partnerships with these technology platforms. They have B Corp certification and partnership with Ecologi for climate-positive operations. The agency's ethos prioritises joy, integrity, and "leaving the internet in a better place than we found it."
Steadfast Collective's focus is bespoke platforms for community-led brands worldwide — membership websites, learning platforms, video platforms, and Laravel/Vue applications for organisations like Hampshire Cultural Trust, the National Caravan Council, and Godolphin & Latymer.
Where will I work?
Steadfast Collective is headquartered at 42 The Hundred, Romsey, SO51 8BX — and operates as a fully remote UK-based team. The agency is "UK based, remotely powered" with team members across the UK collaborating on global community-focused projects. Roles are open to UK residents only.
What is the Steadfast Collective team like?
The 14-person team is led by Managing Director Pete Heslop and Brand Director Rachel Heslop. Developers include Josh Taylor, Kat Wlodarczyk, Alex Turner, James Pigott, Sami Walbury, Ash Crooks, and Byron Fitzgerald. The team also includes Bekki Stovell (Fractional Creative Lead), Ross McHenry (Production Manager), and Steve Cross (Advisor). The company culture is built around three core values verbatim: "creating value, integrity and collaboration. Creative thinking, continual learning and personal development are always encouraged. We uphold respect, honesty and trust whilst also making space to have fun."
The team is committed to diversity and inclusion: "actively welcoming neurodiverse individuals and those with disabilities, alongside embracing diversity in race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, and marital status."
Work-Life Balance
Steadfast Collective offers a 9-day fortnight: their published Laravel Developer JD verbatim lists "Every other Friday off (9 day fortnight)" as a core employee benefit. The role uses "flexible working hours" and is fully UK remote. Note: the company's own description self-describes as a "4 day work week," but the operational schedule per their current published JD is a 9-day fortnight (alternating Fridays off).
