Location
Ideally we're looking for someone located near Glasgow or London for hybrid working, but role can also be remote if we find the right candidate.
What we’re looking for:
We’re looking for a skilled practitioner with significant experience in delivering design projects. The focus of your role will be to create end-to-end, evidence-based designs for services & products which are inclusive, accessible and planet-friendly. You’ll often be working with multidisciplinary teams on complex projects where autonomy and project management will be important.
We’re on the hunt for someone who will champion our values: to care passionately, be fluent in people, believe in your craft, push convention, be open to change, value each other.
We work with a broad range of clients, some of whom are completely new to user-centred design (UCD). This means you’ll also play a key role in championing our UCD approach.
The role may also involve:
Your skills and experience:
We’d like to hear from you if you have skills or experience in some or all of these areas:
How we work:
We work with central and local government, the NHS, charity and private sector organisations. We also often work with our NECSWS colleagues, which includes sectors such as Public Safety and Justice, amongst other areas.
We work hand in hand with our clients and sometimes we’re embedded in their teams for projects. We’ll endeavour to move you on to different sectors after 3 - 12 months because we want you to get a variety of experiences, from applying GDS (government digital service) standards, to improving customer buy-in. On occasion there can be longer term engagements where everyone benefits from the deep knowledge that we gain.
Beyond individual projects, NEC Digital Studio’s Interaction Designers support each other at weekly meet-ups where we share our work, discuss its wider implications, and learn about methods.
You’ll also broaden your skills by working closely with members of our other Digital teams, including service designers, content designers, developers and user researchers.
All of our Interaction Designers are supported by more senior members of the Product Design team. They look after your wellbeing, help you set goals and objectives and provide feedback to help you grow.
We welcome applicants from all professional backgrounds. We acknowledge that we didn’t all start out as interaction designers and are proud of the varied expertise amongst our team. Our minimum criteria is that you have degree or professional experience that is relevant to interaction design.
We pride ourselves in offering an excellent benefits package, including an above average pension scheme. When you join the team at NEC Software Solutions, you are provided with the following:
