**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 new Office for Local Government (Oflog) is a key priority of the Secretary of State. Oflog will help to drive improvement in local government - responsible for a wider range of critical and everyday services - in order to improve outcomes for the public. It will do this by providing authoritative and accessible data and analysis about the performance of local government, so that local leaders can benchmark themselves against their peers and communities can more effectively challenge their authorities.

The postholder will design and refine visualisation led content and products, including the Oflog data explorer.

The person in this role will work within the data tools team, as well as with wider Oflog. They will develop designs for new products and content, and use their prototyping skills to develop end-to-end experiences. Products might include interactives, dashboards, and semi-automated narratives.

They will work closely with user research function and the wider team to ensure that experiences meet user needs, and are straightforward to use.

We’re looking for someone who is motivated to support projects with real-world impacts while promoting a positive work culture. They will need strong data manipulation skills and a focus on robust quality assurance methods.

**Job description**:
As a Visualisation Interaction Designer you'll:

- work within the data tools team to develop designs for new data-led products and content, and end-to-end experiences
- iterate and improve existing products, ensuring they continue to meet user needs and provide a coherent experience
- prototype using a variety of techniques, including dynamic prototypes
- ensure designs reflect digital best practice, and meet accessibility standards
