We work to create data-led, digital solutions for the people of Scotland. Our full-stack teams design, architect, and build all our registration products in-house.

The Role

Join Registers of Scotland as an Interaction Designer and help shape inclusive, user centred digital services that make a real difference. You’ll design and improve services that support key moments in people’s lives, using fresh thinking and leading-edge technology to enhance how members of the public and business customers interact with Registers of Scotland.

With support from the Senior Interaction Designer, this is an opportunity to learn, make an impact, and progress your career, collaborating with researchers and multidisciplinary service teams as your experience develops. The role focuses on ensuring our services are usable, accessible and designed to best practice standards, including the Government Digital Service Design System, the Scottish Government Design System and the Registers of Scotland Design System.

• Work with UCD colleagues and other internal stakeholders to design and deliver inclusive, accessible services that meet the needs of all our customers and colleagues.

• Work with user experience researchers to clearly articulate and use evidence to inform and develop a design idea.

• Collaborate with the Senior Interaction Designer and contribute to design reviews based on user needs.

• Create prototypes at different fidelities to explore designs collaborating with the Senior Interaction Designer and other colleagues.

• Help to ensure RoS' services meet appropriate design and accessibility standards, for example GDS and Scot Gov design standards and pass WCAG accessibility criteria.

• Undertake appropriate training and development opportunities as advised by the Senior Interaction Designer or line manager.

• Participate in and contribute to our UCD Community of Practice.

• Explain the value of using design patterns and components in design.
