• Iterate on content throughout the service lifecycle (Discovery, Alpha, Beta, Live) to ensure optimal user understanding and task completion.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of content governance, style guides, and best practices.

• Design, create, and maintain clear, concise, and accessible content for public-facing digital services, focusing on user comprehension and task completion.
• Leverage user research findings and data analytics to inform content strategy, validate design decisions, and continuously refine content through user testing.
• Partner closely with user researchers, UX designers, product managers, and engineers to deeply understand user needs, service journeys, and technical constraints.
• Develop and iterate content across all stages of the digital service lifecycle, from initial discovery and prototyping to live service management.
• Ensure all designed content adheres strictly to GDS (Government Digital Service) content principles, the Service Standard, and WCAG accessibility guidelines.
• Structure content logically and intuitively to support user decision-making processes and facilitate seamless task completion.
• Collaborate effectively with subject-matter experts, policy advisors, and legal teams to guarantee content accuracy, compliance with organizational policies, and adherence to regulatory requirements.
• Proactively review and enhance existing content to reduce complexity, eliminate jargon, and improve overall user experience.
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of content governance frameworks, style guides, and reusable content patterns.
• Prepare and present clear articulation of content decisions and supporting evidence for service assessments.

Education: While no specific degree is mandated, a strong portfolio demonstrating practical application of content design principles is paramount. Candidates with degrees in English, Communications, Journalism, Human-Computer Interaction, or related fields may have a foundational advantage.

Experience: A minimum of 2-5 years of demonstrable experience in content design, with a significant portion focused on digital products and services, particularly within regulated or public sector environments.

Required Skills:

• Proven experience designing and delivering content for public sector or highly regulated digital services.
• Deep understanding of core content design principles, including plain English, inclusive language, and user-centered writing.
• Demonstrated ability to utilize user research methodologies to inform and validate content decisions.
• Familiarity with GDS standards, including the Service Standard and associated content guidance.
• Experience designing content for interactive digital products and services, not solely static copy.
• A strong user-centred mindset with a keen awareness of how content influences user behaviour and outcomes.
• Confidence and experience working effectively within multidisciplinary Agile delivery teams.
• Ability to clearly articulate and defend content decisions to diverse stakeholders, including senior management.
• High attention to detail, ensuring consistency in tone, style, structure, and accuracy.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience contributing to content governance, style guides, and the development of reusable content patterns.
• Familiarity with accessibility standards beyond WCAG, such as Section 508, if applicable to specific projects.
• Awareness of data protection (e.g., GDPR) and safeguarding considerations within digital services.
• Experience with content management systems (CMS) and their impact on content structure and delivery.
• Ability to translate complex technical or policy information into easily understandable user-facing content.

📝 Note: The emphasis on "public sector or regulated services" and "GDS standards" is critical. Candidates must demonstrate a clear understanding and practical application of these specific frameworks, not just general content strategy. The "2-5 years" experience level suggests a mid-level role where candidates are expected to be largely autonomous in their content design tasks within a team.

• A well-structured portfolio showcasing at least 2-3 distinct projects, preferably from public sector or regulated environments.
• Each project case study should clearly articulate the user problem, the content design approach taken, and the rationale behind key content decisions.
• Demonstrable evidence of content iteration based on user research, testing, and feedback.
• Examples of content for different stages of the user journey and service lifecycle (e.g., discovery, onboarding, task completion, error messages).
• Showcase of applied GDS content principles and accessibility considerations (e.g., clear language, logical structure, inclusive terminology).

Process Documentation:

• Evidence of applying user-centered content design processes, including user journey mapping, content audits, and usability testing.
• Examples of how content was integrated into Agile workflows and collaborated on with multidisciplinary teams.
• Documentation that highlights the impact of content on user outcomes, such as task success rates, reduced support queries, or improved user satisfaction.

📝 Note: The portfolio is the most critical element for this role. It should demonstrate a structured, evidence-based approach to content design, showcasing problem-solving, collaboration, and measurable impact within the context of digital service delivery.

Salary Range: Based on industry benchmarks for mid-level Content Designers in London, with experience in public sector/GDS, a competitive salary range is estimated between £50,000 - £70,000 per annum. This range accounts for the specialized skills, consulting nature of the role, and the cost of living in London.

• Comprehensive Training: Opportunities for personal and professional development across technical, business acumen, and methodologies.
• Private Medical Cover: For the employee and their spouse/partner, provided through Vitality.
• Discretionary Bonus: Based on a combination of individual and company performance.
• Generous Holiday Allowance: 25 days per year, plus an additional day for your birthday and work anniversary, in addition to UK bank holidays.
• Electric Vehicle Leasing: Available through a salary sacrifice scheme.
• Contributed Pension Scheme: Company contributions to a pension fund.
• Death in Service Cover: Financial provision for beneficiaries in the event of death.

Working Hours: The role is advertised as full-time. While not explicitly stated, a standard full-time work week in the UK consulting sector is typically around 37.5 to 40 hours. The "Hybrid" work arrangement suggests a need for on-site presence, likely 2-3 days per week, with flexibility for remote work on other days.

📝 Note: The hybrid nature implies a need for local presence in London, even if not full-time in the office.

Candidates should have experience designing content for public sector services and a strong understanding of content design principles. Familiarity with user research and GDS standards is essential.
