Job Description
The public sector client is looking to recruit a Senior Interaction Designer for a 12 month temporary contract based in Leeds. The client has advised that you can work mostly remote for this assignment until the restrictions ease, however, you will need to work from the office base, at least 2 days a week at the outset.
Interaction Designers design accessible public services simple enough for everyone to use. They create digital services that work across different channels, devices, browsers and platforms.
This role may involve the creation of or change to design patterns which are being researched in services. This role is about seeing the bigger picture as well as the fine detail. It’s about being able to create just enough of a prototype to help the wider team learn about user needs for a given scenario.
How to apply
•Please submit a portfolio or work samples as case studies, describing your role, impact and outcomes within each project. Profiles without demonstration of your work won’t be considered.
•You need to provide either a published website or an attached document when making the application or contact us and we can advise you about this matter.
