• Following the GOV.UK service manual and agile delivery phases
• Presenting design work to the team and stakeholders, ensuring it meets policy and regulatory objectives
• Communicating effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Promoting the value of design thinking and empathy, influencing stakeholders to adopt a user-centred approach
Required qualifications to be successful in this role:
• Working experience in using the GOV.UK prototyping toolkit
• Good communication skills and the ability to articulate design decisions effectively
• Experience in designing user journeys and prototyping for different screen sizes
• Proactive and happy to work as part of a team and independently
• Good influencing skills and the ability to advocate for users
• Working knowledge of the GOV.UK design system, design principles, service manual and accessibility standards
• Ability to identify constraints to ensure designs are feasible and meet user needs
