Service Designer

Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities
Job summary
Here at the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC), 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.
We have circa 3,500 staff who are based in 20 offices across the UK.
Our digital directorate works with policy and programme teams to apply digital, user-centred thinking to important problems like local growth, homelessness and planning. In some cases, we’ll build new digital services – in others we expect to discover from our users that digital isn’t the answer.
We have an opportunity available in our Technology team as we are growing and developing our service design community across the digital directorate, specifically within our internal service offerings and, to a lesser degree, public facing services.
