Description
As a service designer, you will design the end-to-end journey of a service. You will help users complete their goals and government deliver a policy intent.

Your work will involve the creation of, or change to, transactions, products and content across both digital and offline channels provided by different parts of government.


You will work independently to develop designs based on evidence of user needs and organizational outcomes and will mentor junior designers and researchers.

What do we offer?

  • 27 days leave (increasing with length of service) plus 8 bank holidays
  • Flexible working (we are happy to discuss options such as compressed hours)
  • Flexi time
  • Hybrid working model (we are currently working largely remotely)
  • Career development
  • Active wellbeing and inclusion networks
  • Excellent pension
  • NHS Car lease scheme
  • Access to a wide range of benefits and high street discounts
  • You work in an agile way and have an awareness of agile tools and how to use them.
  • You listen to the needs of technical and business stakeholders and interpret them clearly for both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • You work collaboratively within a group, actively networking with others and varying feedback for the appropriate time to ensure the discussion sticks - both internally and across other government agencies.
  • You are responsive to changes in technology that may impact designs, adapting your approach accordingly.
  • Evidence - and context-based design - you absorb large amounts of conflicting information and use it to produce simple designs to meet user needs.
  • You identify, communicate, and work within constraints, such as policy or legislation, recognising options that will help balance user need and expectation.
  • You contribute to best-practice guidelines around user-centred design and agile ways of working.
  • You have knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript prototypes, as well as Government and other design systems.
  • You approach prototyping as a team activity, actively soliciting prototypes and testing with others for feedback.
  • You recognise and define the design and implementation of strategy, provide guidance for the evaluation of strategies and policies to ensure business requirements are being met and exceeded where possible.
  • You collaborate with user researchers and represent users internally.
