About the jobJob summaryHere at the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG), we work on things that make a real difference to people’s lives. Whether it's through the homes we live in, the work of our local councils, or the communities we’re all part of, our work is at the top of the political agenda. We have ambitious and far-reaching outcomes to achieve this year and, if you’re thinking of joining us, there’s never been a more exciting time.

You will work closely with policy, operations, user research, content design and developers to design end‑to‑end, user‑centred journeys that enable users to understand, complete and trust the tasks they need to carry out. These stakeholder groups include landlords and tenants, letting agents, and local authorities. You will design usable and inclusive interfaces that meet user needs, drawing on research and data to develop, test and refine multiple design ideas. Your work will follow the Design System, the Service Standard and the Service Manual to ensure consistency, usability and accessibility across the service.
