**Job summary**:
Here at the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC), we work on things that make a real difference to people’s lives.

Whether it's through the homes we live in, the work of our local councils, or the communities we’re all part of, our work is at the top of the political agenda. We have ambitious and far-reaching outcomes to achieve this year and, if you’re thinking of joining us, there’s never been a more exciting time.

We have over 3,500 staff who are based in 20 offices across the UK.

The remediation programmes exist to improve the lives of those who live in buildings with unsafe cladding. The remediation work began six years ago to make buildings safer following the Grenfell Tower fire. Since then, we have made progress in fixing unsafe cladding but there is much more to do to meet the scale of the challenge.

Delivery is conducted through five programmes with a much greater role for Homes England, the Building Safety Regulator, social housing providers and developers. As the complexity and scale of remediation increases, a Portfolio model is being implemented. We are establishing a new function, System Design, as part of the Portfolio. The System Design function will take a holistic view of the entire remediation landscape to identify, evaluate and support the implementation of changes.

The System Design function has been created to take a holistic view of the entire remediation landscape. Through identifying, evaluating and supporting the implementation of changes, the System Design team will bring clarity to a complex system and put the users at the heart of decisions whilst hoping to increase the pace and value for money of programmes. The System Design team will work collaboratively across teams within remediation around policy change and to develop a system view.

**A**s a User Researcher you'll**:
Work with the Senior User Researcher to be able to gather insights about the end-to-end landscape of remediation, using existing information and designing and delivering new user research, to understand the experiences of users.

The role will fit those who like to look at the bigger picture, and who are keen to use user research to make connections across a system to have more strategic impact on improving policies and services.

- Working with the System Design team to define the boundaries of the remediation landscape, contributing the user perspective
- Building relationships with internal teams across the remediation system to gather intel from project and programme level that can support a user-centred view of the system
- Planning, designing and conducting user research with key user groups to understand their needs and experiences, and to understand how the implementation of policies or programmes are impacting them
- Identifying appropriate research methods to meet the aims of the research with a focus on qualitative, participatory and creative approaches, and analysing and synthesising user research data to present clear user insights and actionable findings
- Supporting the development of routes to recruit participants for research and supporting the design of a feedback loop for our research
- Ensuring inclusive research is embedded into all user research practices, ensuring research is conducted with a diverse range of users in the remediation system
- Communicating user research findings with a range of teams and relevant stakeholders, including senior officials, with a clear focus on creative storytelling to advocate for user needs and experiences within the remediation landscape.
