Facilitate workshops, present findings, and communicate user needs through personas, service maps, and user journeys. Resolve design challenges across varying levels of complexity and risk in a fast-paced, agile environment. Mentor and support junior colleagues, contributing to the growth of the wider design community. What we're looking for You'll bring strong experience in user-centred design and a track record of creating digital services that meet the Government Digital Service (GDS) standards. We'd like you to have: Hands-on experience with GDS service standards and design principles. Knowledge of which tools, processes, and methods to apply at different stages of delivery, and the ability to bring teams along with you. Strong skills with design tools such as Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, or InVision, plus the ability to pick up new tools quickly. Experience engaging senior stakeholders and building buy-in for design decisions. A proven ability to create compelling design artefacts such as user flows, service maps, and wireframes. Expertise in rapid prototyping, both digital and paper-based, with knowledge of GitHub, Heroku, and node.js. Experience collaborating with user researchers to synthesise insights and act on outcomes. Excellent communication skills to bridge technical and business perspectives. A passion for designing inclusive, accessible services that deliver real value to users.
