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 brilliant training opportunities, tip-top kit 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.

The role

As a Senior Interaction Designer you will have the opportunity to work on the products and services that make this happen and which have an impact on the lives of millions of individuals across the United Kingdom every day.

Our work is guided by the following principles:

  1. Promote digital take-up by designing for user needs
  2. Provide assistance in using or accessing our services for those who need it
  3. Design not just for users today but for the users of tomorrow
  4. Build models of inclusion not models of disruption
  5. Do all the hard work for the user and don't have unreasonable expectations of anyone

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. You'll also want 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 prototyping in code as well as the ability to communicate ideas clearly and succinctly on paper.
