About the job

Job summary

Are you passionate about designing the high quality content that people need?

Were looking for an enthusiastic and talented content designer to work on content and services that make a difference to peoples lives.

A content designer is a user-centred designer who specialises in content, usually words. They make things easy for people to understand and use by designing how information is structured. They use evidence to design the content users need at every point in their journey - for example a GOV.UK page, a digital application form, navigation elements, button text, error messages, emails and letters.

Putting users' needs at the heart of their work, a content designer makes people's interactions with government as simple as possible.

Job description

A content designer is responsible for creating, evaluating, updating and reviewing content at all stages of the end-to-end user journey. At this role level, you will:

Create content that's consistent with best practice, including the GOV.UK and DWP style guides and design systems.
Use analytics and user research findings to design, iterate and explain your content.
Collaborate with colleagues in other disciplines.
Work with stakeholders outside your team - this might include fact-checking, pair-writing and explaining your designs using evidence.
Take part in your local and DWP content design and user-centred design communities, including getting your work reviewed by other content designers and reviewing their work.
Take a proactive approach to your own growth and learning.

Hybrid Working

This role may be suitable for hybrid working, which is where an employee works part of the week in their DWP office and part of the week from home. This is a voluntary, non-contractual arrangement and your office will be your contractual place of work.

If a hybrid working arrangement is suitable for the role and for you, you will normally be required to spend a minimum of 60% of your contracted working hours from your DWP office.

If you have a disability, caring responsibilities, or other circumstances that may affect your ability to meet the minimum office attendance requirement, please discuss this with us using the contact details in this advert.

Salary Information

Pay for this role is from £44,447 to £46,547.

Our offer to successful candidates will be based on an assessment of your skills and experience as demonstrated at interview.

Existing Civil Servants who secure a new role on lateral transfer will maintain their current substantive salary.

Existing Civil Servants who gain promotion will move to the bottom of the grade pay scale or receive a 10% increase applied to their current substantive salary, whichever is greater.

Any temporary allowances that you are currently in receipt of will not form part of the calculation to determine your pay. Any allowances that are in payment will cease when you move into your new role.
