Present design concepts and rationale to stakeholders and facilitate constructive feedback sessions.
Stay updated on UX trends, tools, and methodologies to bring innovative ideas to the team.

Experience in UX design, preferably with experience in public sector or service design projects.
Proficiency in design tools such as Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, or similar platforms.
Strong understanding of user-centred design principles, usability, and accessibility standards.
Experience with user research methodologies and translating findings into actionable designs.
Ability to create low to high-fidelity prototypes and iterate based on user feedback.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to articulate design decisions clearly and able to influence stakeholder groups.
Ideally you will also have some experience of some of the following:
Familiarity with Agile development processes and tools like Jira or Trello.
