UX Designer Newbury, England
Job description
The role
UX Designer Location: London or Cardiff, with other office bases considered 35 hours per week, permanent £45,687 - £51,609 per annum* There is more to the RCN than you might think. We’re a trade union with a membership of over half a million nurses, midwives, nursing support workers and students. We support their practice, represent them, lobby on their behalf, and support their professional development. We exist to make a positive difference – to the working lives of our members and ultimately to standards in patient care. Our employees are drawn from many walks of life – we are nurses, marketers and communicators, administrators, IT professionals, policy and finance experts, lawyers… together we are so much more. We couldn’t do what we do without our people. We're accredited with Investors in People Silver Standard. Our people are our greatest asset, and we want people who can contribute to our purpose in line with our values. We are seeking a talented and creative UX Designer to join our growing team. As our UX Designer, you will contribute to the design and development of user-centred, accessible digital experiences that delight and serve our members. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, including product managers, engineers, and visual designers, to create intuitive digital products and services. This is an excellent opportunity for individuals who are passionate about user experience and accessibility, have a keen eye for detail, and are eager to learn and grow in the field of UX design.
The person
To join us you’ll need a strong portfolio demonstrating skills in UX design, including wireframing and prototyping. You will need to be proficient in industry-standard design tools such as Figma and Adobe XD and understand user-centred design principles and usability best practices. What we offer you We offer an impressive range of benefits, a broad range of learning development opportunities and an award-winning health and wellbeing programme. We offer annual leave up to 32 days plus bank holidays and three additional days for the Christmas break plus generous maternity, adoption, paternity, and shared parental leave packages. *We offer a competitive pay structure with annual pay progression until you reach the top of the salary scale. We normally offer new employees the first point of the salary range, although you may be able to negotiate a higher starting salary depending on your skills, experience, and current salary. What we deliver for our members is wide and varied so when it comes to how we work one size doesn’t fit all. We also know that to empower our people to do their best work, they must be able to balance the demands of work and home. We are a diverse organisation and understand everyone has different needs and many of our employees enjoy flexible working enabling them to deliver results whilst having a good work life balance. Departments and directorates have their own hybrid ways of working which put the needs of the service they deliver – whether that’s to members or to colleagues - at their heart, in alignment with our hybrid working core principles. At the RCN it’s unlikely you will work from home for all of your working time. Equally no one is expected to work solely in the office unless your role requires it. You can find out more by having a discussion with the recruiting manager.
