- Work on all levels of the service, from high-level flows and journeys to the fine detail of individual parts
- Work with different types of content and user-led interactions
- Work across digital and non-digital channels
- 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

**Essential Skillset-**
- At least 2 to 3 years’ experience as a Service Designer or Systems Thinker.
- Experience solving design and research challenges through collaboration and user participation.
- Ability to develop hands on interaction design solutions for the products that enable the service

- 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
- Be able to manage other people’s work, including planning work and checking it to make sure it’s consistent and appropriate across products and services.
