We are looking to recruit an SC Cleared Content Designer for a leading technology consultancy delivering user-centred services across the UK public sector.
This role would suit someone who cares as much about solving user problems as they do about writing great content. You'll work collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams, helping public sector clients create services that are clear, accessible, and genuinely easy for people to use.
Working across the full service lifecycle, you'll use research and evidence to understand user needs, develop content strategies, create and test content, improve information architecture, and continually refine services based on user feedback.

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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits

- Working closely with User Researchers, Service Designers, Interaction Designers, and other specialists
