Introduction

These are exciting times at MOJ Digital and Technology. We have a clear vision - to develop a digitally-enabled justice system that works more simply for users - and we’re looking for talented people to help us achieve it.

We’re making things better by building adaptable, effective services and making systems that are simple to use for staff and citizens. It can be challenging but it’s also important and rewarding.

As well as doing great work, we’re creating a place that’s great to do work in. We offer tip-top kit, brilliant training opportunities and support from expert colleagues. On top of that, you’ll find flexible working, an inclusive culture and a place where your opinion is valued.

Do you want the chance to work on products that matter, with people who value design and create work you're proud to talk about? Do you look to the future while designing for the now, immersing yourself in trends and constantly challenging the status quo? If you are a designer who is passionate about understanding how users behave with a knack for designing simple interactions and intuitive products, we might be the right fit for you?

At the Ministry of Justice Digital & Technology, you’ll be welcomed into a large family of interaction, service and visual designers. You'll work in a multidisciplinary team, alongside user researchers, service designers, business analysts, content designers, product owners, delivery managers and developers to deliver world-class, user-centred services.

Role responsibilities

As a senior interaction designer, your job will be to design and lead on accessible public and internal services that are simple enough for everyone to use. You’ll be excited by the challenge of creating digital services that work across multiple channels, devices, browsers and platforms and helping to lead on the direction of new patterns and standards. You’ll be able to see the bigger picture as well as the fine detail, and have a range of experience sketching and prototyping in code as well as the ability to communicate your ideas clearly and succinctly on paper. You’ll understand how the internet works and how to design in an agile environment.

You’ll want to help the government transform they way it delivers services, so that they’re more efficient, simpler, faster and easier to use.

You will also be expected to participate and lead an active role in the design community both internally and across the government. You will also be expected to represent design in internal and cross government assessments.
