**Job summary**:
The first duty of the government is to keep citizens safe and the country secure. The Home Office has been at the front line of this effort since 1782. As such, we play a fundamental role in maintaining the security and economic prosperity of the UK.

The Home Office leads on immigration and passports, refugee protection, counter-terrorism, policing, fire services, and crime and drugs policy.

This is an exciting time to be at the Home Office. You’ll have a chance to shape the future and support our mission to deliver exceptional public services that work for everyone.

Our work is guided by these principles:

- We put user needs first
- We value delivery and outcomes over process

Our flexible working policy ensures a healthy work-life balance. We also nurture talent and offer a broad range of learning and development opportunities that will help you flourish in your role.

Interaction Designers are responsible for designing the flow of user interactions services as well as the right components and layout.

You will have an understanding of the way the internet works, experience of designing in an agile environment and want to help government transform the way it delivers services.

We’re looking for people who are collaborative, inclusive, open to their work being critiqued and who are empathetic towards their colleagues and users. A healthy balance of determinism and pragmatism will be needed on our complex services and products.

- Developing concepts and interactive prototypes to communicate and test ideas with users and stakeholders;
- Helping facilitate the design process on your team by participating in workshops, actively seeking feedback, mapping processes and visualising design problems;
- Supporting and mentoring more inexperienced Interaction Designers, allocating tasks and providing them with guidance and constructive feedback;
- Being an active part of the user-centred design community, sharing your knowledge and experience.
