The London Borough of Lambeth is seeking an interim Service Designer to join the Customer Access and Service Transformation (CAST) programme, supporting delivery of the Customer Experience Strategy 2026-2029 and MTFS-saving objectives.
Reporting to the CAST Programme Director, you will work across priority service areas to understand current customer journeys, operational processes, pain points and demand drivers. You will produce high-level as-is and to-be process maps, identify avoidable demand, repeat contact, rework and unclear ownership, and recommend practical improvements to process, policy application, digital channels, forms, scripts, staff guidance and management controls.
The ideal candidate will bring proven experience in service design, business analysis, process improvement, lean methodology or user-centred design.

Local government or public sector experience is desirable.
