- Using data and evidence to inform and justify design decisions
- Championing high-quality, accessible design aligned to GOV.UK standards
- Promoting reusable design patterns and consistent user experiences
- Leading design activities such as critiques, workshops and design reviews
- Mentoring and supporting other designers to grow their skills
What we’re looking for
- Experience working in agile, multidisciplinary teams delivering user-centred design
- Strong ability to design accessible, inclusive digital services
- Experience producing key design outputs (user journeys, service blueprints, site maps)
- Proficiency in tools such as Figma, Adobe XD or GOV.UK Prototype Kit
- Experience conducting or supporting usability testing
- Strong understanding of GOV.UK Design System and Service Standards
- Ability to influence teams and promote best practice design
- Experience mentoring or coaching other designers
