The Role
As a Senior Service Designer, you’ll play a leading role in how we design and develop inclusive services for children, young people and adults in their families or family networks that make a real difference to their lives. You’ll work across complex systems—health, education, social care, housing, and more—bringing together diverse voices to co-create solutions that are equitable, sustainable, and grounded in lived experience.
What You’ll Do
- Collaborate across multi-agency teams to reimagine services that work for and with our communities.
- Be ambitious in your approach to systems change—framing the right problems, testing bold ideas, and delivering measurable impact.
- Use your resourcefulness to navigate complexity, apply design thinking, and lead multidisciplinary teams with agility through transformation.
- Empower others—from senior leaders to frontline staff to residents—to shape and sustain change through inclusive design and continuous improvement.
What You’ll Bring
- A deep understanding of service design, systems thinking, and inclusive practice.
- Strong experience of leading complex, multi-agency service design projects focused on residents such as children and families.
- Curious to understand other people’s experiences with the ability to include equity, accessibility, and culturally responsive design in your work.
- The ability to turn insight into action, and vision into reality.
- Passion, care, courage, connection, and radical leadership so change lands well for our children, families and multi-agency workforce
- Strong creative communication approaches that steer people towards shared goals and supports them to build good connections to the delivery of change
