Defra is the UK government department accountable for safeguarding our natural environment, helping our world-leading food & farming industry, and sustaining a thriving rural economy. Our broad remit means we play a major role in people's day-to-day life, from the food we eat, and the air we breathe, to the water we drink.

Our approach puts user needs at the heart of digital development. We design and build user centred public services that help our superb food, farming and fisheries industries, enhance our beautiful rural environment, and better protect against flooding, disease and other natural threats.

Defra’s design team is part of a wider user-centred design group as well as the wider community of over 800 designers working in the UK government.

You will be excited by the challenge of understanding user needs and policy goals to support strategy and decision making, and experienced at visualising whole services - both end-to-end and front-to-back, across business areas and government departments, to reduce or remove issues and problems.

You will work in a multidisciplinary team, alongside user researchers, interaction designers, business analysts, content designers, product owners, delivery managers and developers to deliver world-class, user-centred services that help the government transform the way it delivers services so they are more efficient, simpler, faster and easier to use.
