This UX Consultant position is within our Public Services ‘pod’ - one of our client-focused, mini business units.

The Public Services pod exists to make public services better for everyone. We do this by partnering with public service organisations to tackle their most important challenges; empowering them to deliver world-class services that are effective, inclusive, accessible, and sustainable. We involve users to uncover breakthrough insights, and we respond through a service design process. We are pragmatic, not dogmatic, in our approach, and are outcome-driven.

We’re currently working with the NHS, Department for Health and Social Care, Department for Transport and many others across health, central government and local government with a commitment to providing end-to-end service design to solve complex problems for users. We’re confident in delivering measurable outcomes from before Discovery to after Live through expertise, passion, collaboration and open working.

cxpartners is made up of an incredible, diverse range of people. We're an equal opportunity employer and prize diversity as a strength. We’re keen to ensure we’re designing products and services that work for everyone, so our team needs to reflect that too.

We particularly encourage applications from different underrepresented demographics. We do not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, colour, ancestry, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability or any other legally protected status.

Please don't be put off applying because you aren't a perfect match for our job description. If you are excited about the opportunity and think you can achieve the outcomes we are looking for, but aren't sure if you tick every box, we'd still love to hear from you.
