Why Action for Children?
Working here is more than a job. Everyone in the Action for Children family is passionate about protecting and supporting children. It is the sense of purpose that drives us every single day. Because we know that, when we work together, we can make a huge difference to bring lasting improvements to vulnerable children's lives.
A bit about the role
We are looking for a Content Designer to join our digital team for 6 months, primarily working on Parent Talk, Action for Children’s digital parenting support service.
This is a hands-on content design role. You’ll use evidence and user insight to design, review and improve accessible content and journeys, working closely with parenting coaches, subject matter experts and digital colleagues.
You’ll report to the Senior Content Designer, who leads Parent Talk’s content strategy, governance, standards and prioritisation.
How you'll help to create brighter futures
- Design and improve accessible, inclusive content and user journeys for parents, carers and young people.
- Use research, analytics, search insight, user behaviour and feedback to understand user needs and inform content decisions.
- Work with subject matter experts to turn complex and sometimes sensitive information into clear, useful content.
- Take assigned content through research, design, review, publication and ongoing improvement.
- Contribute content design expertise to multidisciplinary delivery work where needed, working with product, development and technical colleagues.
- Advocate for evidence-led, user-centred and accessible content across the organisation.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
