(Please note: this is a content design role, not UX, interaction design, or graphic design.) Nice-to-haves (teach-able if you're keen) * Familiarity with the GOV.UK Style Guide, GDS Service Standard and plain-English principles. * Exposure to user research (note-taking, analysing findings, running content testing). * Comfort with everyday tools like Google Docs, a CMS, Jira/Confluence, Figma, or basic analytics. * Awareness of accessibility (e.g., headings, link text, reading age). What success looks like * 3 months: you're shipping small pieces of content with review; contributing to bid answers; publishing blog posts with guidance. * 6 months: you own pages or flows end-to-end, propose improvements based on data, and draft first-pass bid sections. * 12 months: you're trusted to lead small content tasks independently, contribute to content patterns, and strengthen our tone across channels. ## Description Support bids and proposals: craft concise answers, case studies, win themes and executive summaries that align to evaluation criteria and our tone of voice. * Shape our website and blog: plan and publish pages, edit for plain English, optimise for search, and keep our case studies fresh. * Create marketing copy: social posts, one-pagers, slide copy, event blurbs-always grounded in user value and measurable outcomes. * Work in multidisciplinary teams: pair-write with designers and researchers, collaborate with product managers, engineers and subject experts. * Champion accessibility and inclusion: write to WCAG-friendly patterns, use the GOV.UK/GDS style where appropriate, and test content with users. * Measure and iterate: use analytics, feedback and user research insights to improve content over time. * Learn fast: take part in critiques, content clinics and show-and-tells; capture and reuse patterns in a content library. How you'll be supported * Coaching & mentorship: you'll be paired with a Senior Content Designer for regular 1:1s, shadowing and pair-writing. * Clear growth path: from graduate to independent contributor-building a portfolio across delivery, bids and marketing. * Community of practice: join our design community for critiques, templates, and cross-gov best practice. ## Related Videos - [Bridging the gap between design and development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/992-bridging-the-gap-between-design-and-development) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Boost Productivity with AI: Figma & Playwright MCP Workflows - Aris Markogiannakis](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1768-boost-productivity-with-ai-figma-playwright-mcp-workflows-aris-markogiannakis) - [42 x 2 Canvases Later: Two Years, Two Minds, Many Lessons](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1458-42-x-2-canvases-later-two-years-two-minds-many-lessons) - [Bridging the Gap](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/794-bridging-the-gap) - [A Founder's Journey : From Startup Chaos to Purposeful Growth](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1926-a-founder-s-journey-from-startup-chaos-to-purposeful-growth) ## Related Articles - [A call for Guest Writers for the WeAreDevelopers Magazine](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/648-a-call-for-guest-writers-for-the-wearedevelopers-magazine) - [How Developers Can Focus on Maintaining Satisfaction With Accessibility](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/109-how-developers-can-focus-on-maintaining-satisfaction-with-accessibility) - [Dev Digest 133 - Back to Front](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/474-dev-digest-133-back-to-front) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Are design and development really just the same thing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/520-are-design-and-development-really-just-the-same-thing) - [Declarative Design and a fresh take on collaboration with developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/595-declarative-design-and-a-fresh-take-on-collaboration-with-developers)
