Content Designer

The Digital Services team at The National Archives is committed to delivering high quality, innovative and trusted digital services to all our audiences. We have an ambitious portfolio of projects transforming our digital services and the way we deliver them. You will be part of a creative, motivated team who embraces challenge and looks for opportunities to do things differently.

We are currently developing a new approach to our web estate, meaning that you will be simultaneously delivering and maintaining content in our existing system, while also working with Product Managers in multidisciplinary Agile teams to develop brand new content models for our ambitious new offer.

Working as Content Designer in The National Archives’ Digital Services department, you will provide user-centred content design for our digital services. You will help to shape and design new ways of delivering end-to-end digital user journeys, ensuring all of our audiences can find, access and understand National Archive collections. You will create content that is designed for all levels of familiarity with archives, from first time users to expert researchers.

You will have strong written communication skills, and be experienced in writing for the web, particularly in communicating the complex knowledge of experts to a non-expert audience. You will be confident and comfortable with taking the lead, making decisions and dealing with stakeholders.

You will juggle a varied workload and be up to the challenge of working in a fast-paced digital team going through a period of change and rapid growth.

This is a full time post. However, requests for part-time working, flexible working and job share will be considered, taking into account at all times the operational needs of the Department.

A combination of onsite and home working is available and applicants should be able to regularly travel to our Kew site for a minimum of 60% of their work time.
