As a UX Designer, you will be a key member of the user experience practice, ensuring that all digital products and services are designed with the user at the core. This role will be instrumental in establishing and embedding UX, design, research, and accessibility standards across the team.

In this recruitment round, we are seeking a UX Designer to work across our Student Experience service teams as we focus on creating and enhancing a seamless and reliable digital experience.

We welcome applications from experienced UX Designers who want to work for an organisation that is committed to social purpose and is growing to face new opportunities and challenges.

  • Ability to mentor and coach designers and uphold high-quality design standards within teams.
  • Proven ability to work collaboratively with stakeholders and multidisciplinary agile teams to deliver iterative, user-centered solutions at pace.
