We are recruiting for a **Designer**

This role is part of Nesta’s Design & Technology community of practice - which will provide peer support, professional development and line management - and be seconded into the The Behavioural Insights Team (BIT) which is part of the Nesta Group.

This means the majority of time for this role will be spent supporting BIT’s project work for clients, including helping to shape and win client work that makes impactful use of design approaches.

**About Nesta**

We are Nesta, the UK’s innovation agency for social good. We design, test and scale solutions to society’s biggest problems. Our three missions are to give every child a fair start, help people live healthy lives, and create a sustainable future where the economy works for both people and the planet.

For over 20 years, we have worked to support, encourage and inspire innovation. We work in three roles: as an innovation partner working with frontline organisations to design and test new solutions, as a venture builder supporting new and early stage businesses, and as a system shaper creating the conditions for innovation.

**About The Behavioural Insights Team**

We design and rigorously test new ideas across a range of areas such as health, crime and education, to establish what works and what doesn’t. We have helped Tuberculosis patients take their medicine; reduced police susceptibility to cyberattacks; and helped organisations close their gender pay gap.

- Working with employers to prototype solutions to decrease age bias against older workers in recruitment. As well as supporting an overarching design process you would be expected to play a key role in prototyping and UX and digital design of an employer-friendly toolkit and other potential solutions.
- Supporting the Gambling Unit to research, design and test different strategies to identify risky play, alternatives to dark patterns and more.
- Advise and support projects around the world with designing and testing a range of different artefacts and touchpoints, from the redesign of waste bins through to variations on COVID communications, and more.

**Your role**

- Support the end-to-end design of interventions often involving multiple channels, touchpoints and partners.
- Work with colleagues to develop an internal and external pipeline of work that makes impactful use of design approaches - this may involve scoping, developing bids and pitching.
- Ensure BIT, Nesta and our partners balance the needs of end users with stakeholder needs and social objectives.
- Work with multidisciplinary teams to design, prototype and test solutions to social challenges.
- Facilitate and participate in collaboration, including co-design or multidisciplinary working.

- Contribute to improving BIT’s and Nesta’s approach to design and integration of design into our project methodologies.
- Support the overall delivery of projects, ensuring they are on time and on budget.
