A specialist UX and Service Design consultancy is seeking a Senior Interaction Designer to work on healthcare projects for public sector clients. You'll help create intuitive, accessible and user-centred experiences that solve complex problems, improve access to services and deliver better outcomes for users.

You'll champion inclusive design practices, ensure accessibility standards are met as a minimum, and continually refine solutions through testing and feedback.

You'll also facilitate workshops, contribute to co-design activities, present design recommendations to clients and support the growth of the wider design practice. You'll join a research-led team, contributing design-led thinking and championing user needs while mentoring and supporting less experienced designers.
