Our client, a digital consultancy with a long track record in UK government, is building a new shared intranet for two large national public sector organisations. The project merges content from their two current intranets into a single site with a new information architecture.

The role

You'll design the new intranet, creating a site that's easy to navigate and consistent with public sector design standards.

• Design page templates, layouts and components for the new site
• Apply and adapt the GOV.UK and NHS design systems
• Turn the new information architecture into clear navigation and page designs, working with user research and content design
• Build prototypes to test with users, and iterate on what you learn
• Design for accessibility, meeting WCAG 2.2 AA
• Work with developers so designs are built as intended

What you'll bring

• A track record designing content-led websites, not only interactive services or apps
• Working knowledge of the GOV.UK Design System and the NHS design system
• UK government digital project experience
• Prototyping skills, for example in Figma or the GOV.UK Prototype Kit
• Designing accessible sites to WCAG 2.2 AA

Nice to have

• WordPress experience
• Intranet or content-heavy website projects
• Designing navigation for large sites
• Health or wider public sector experience
