Job Introduction

About us

Royal Greenwich is a vibrant borough, with a rich history and diverse community. We’re proud of the work we do to serve our residents.

We have a vision of a happier, healthier and more connected borough. To achieve this, we’re investing heavily in our digital services. We published our first ever digital strategy in 2020 and are currently updating it to shape what we’re working on for the next four years and beyond.

It’s an exciting time to join us. We're searching for people-focused digital experts to join our team. We’re focused on improving services for our residents and making our borough truly digital. There's plenty of opportunity for you to have your say and help shape our work.

As a content designer in our Product team in Digital, Operations and Access, you’ll be part of a multidisciplinary team working on designing new products and improving existing ones.

You’ll work closely with other council teams to improve information about their services, listening to their needs and balancing them with business and technical constraints.

You’ll speak up for our users, whether they are residents or staff, and use data and research to make sure our products and services meet their needs.

You’ll report to a senior content designer and play an active role in our content design community of practice.

What you'll do

• Lead content design for our most complex products and services, working in the open with the user at the centre of all you do, including working across multiple product teams concurrently.
• Work in multidisciplinary teams to deliver services end to end from discovery to live.
• Contribute to content strategy for whole service transformation and product development.
• Contribute to the creation of standards, guidance and style patterns for the council, ensuring content is human-centred, clear, accessible, helpful, inclusive and is of a high standard across all channels and services.
• Work with people across the council to explain the benefits of content design and transfer skills wherever appropriate.
• Support more junior members of the team to work in multidisciplinary teams, helping develop high-performing people.

• committed to improving residents’ lives and opportunities
• demonstrating respect and fairness
• taking ownership
• doing things better
• working together across the council
