  • Work with different types of content and user-led interactions

  • Focus on making working software rather than creating artefacts to describe software
  • Understand the technical side of design
  • Understand user needs and design services that meet them
  • Support discussions at a senior departmental level
  • Design user-centred solutions and transaction flows
  • Support in an Interaction Design capacity when needed
  • Create and rapidly iterate prototypes to help the wider team learn about user needs for different scenarios or tasks
  • Work with product owners, other designers, user researchers, business analysts and front-end developers to turn concepts into user-centred services
  • Make sure the design of services is consistent internally and with the rest of GOV.UK
  • Take responsibility for creating and keeping up a positive and collaborative working environment
  • Help promote best practice
  • Share specialist knowledge and experience with others in the team
  • Play a supporting role in recruiting for the DWP Digital Product design community
  • Share work and ideas inside and outside the department for example by representing the DWP Digital design community at events
  • Manage other people’s work
  • Contribute to building a digital culture in the Department
  • Play an active part in the department’s Product Design community.

Essential Skillset-

  • Ability to develop hands on interaction design solutions for the products that enable the service
  • A diverse set of methods & tools that allow them to illustrate the opportunities to improve specific service components and touch-points.
  • Appreciation for and demonstrated ability to connect design solutions to pragmatic implementation
  • A belief that a focus on people is fundamental in creating inclusive policies, products and services for social impact.
  • Have a design-related degree or experience on a product, interaction or UX design role.
  • Define elements – layout, design patterns, controls and actions.

Desirable Skillset-

  • Have experience of working directly with front-end code to update prototypes – skills in HTML, CSS and java script aren’t essential, but all our designers learn the basics
  • Be able to write for user interfaces
  • Have demonstrable experience of collaborating on designs with a software engineer
  • Have demonstrable experience of working in technical teams in complex environments
