Design. Work. People.

Our Content designers work as part of a collaborative, multi-disciplinary teams, alongside User Researchers, Product Owner, Architects, Engineers and more. You help put the user at the heart of what we build.

You’ll develop content strategy and solutions for really complex services and products, working with digital and non-digital content. This will include creating joined-up user journeys, evaluating current content strategies based on the results of user research and data and iteratively improve existing content.

You’ll map and write user stories and be responsible for content quality, including reviewing the work of others. You’ll help to set and implement style guidance and content design patterns. You’ll promote user-centred content design within UC, DWP and beyond. And you’ll advise our community on the best content design tools and methods.

If you’re looking for size, scale, reach and impact you’ll find it all here. You’ll lead on cross-government content projects and engage with the wider government content community; supporting discussions at a senior departmental level.

We’re actively building our content design community within the department and across government. You’ll have opportunity to mentor other content designers and lots of chance to grow your own skills within a supportive framework.
