Who We Are
NHS Education for Scotland (NES) is the national health board with statutory responsibilities to effect sustainable change through workforce development, education and training across the health and social care system in Scotland, while working at UK level with partner organisations.
NES Technology Service has created a strategic programme for the transformation of digital based services to allow NES to become a leading digital organisation in Scottish Health, digital by default and fully aligned with the Scottish Government’s technology strategies.
Our Technology
We are in the business of providing safe, secure and innovative technology products and services that aim to improve outcomes across education, training, workforce, health and care in the public sector in Scotland.
The Opportunity
We are looking for a Senior Content Designer to be the first content design specialist within our established design team.
The post-holder will work primarily on the Digital Front Door programme of work. The Digital Front Door is a key commitment in the Scottish Government’s Digital Health and Care Strategy to deliver the means for people to get direct access to their health and care information and wider services. This has the potential to be a truly ground-breaking service and when successful, you will have been at the heart of that success.
Do you enjoy making sure that content is inclusive, accessible and aligned with well recognised standards?
Do you enjoy the challenge of developing content elements which can be incorporated into a reusable design system?
Do you want to work as part of the full discovery to deliver process, embedding good design yet pragmatic practice at all product life cycle stages?
Do you enjoy working with a multi-disciplinary design and development team?
Do you want to provide specialist support and advice to colleagues on how to apply good content design principles and thinking to wider NTS work.
Joining the User Centred Design team at NTS, you will have the opportunity to build out our approach to content design in service of the development and delivery of good user-centred digital services for the general public and health and care professionals.
Does this sound like you?
What We Love to See
A Senior Content Designer needs to offer a broad range of skills and experience, if you can offer some or all of these, we’d love you to apply:
You have proven experience as a content designer
Expertise in content design methods, tools and standards
Dedication to best practice in accessibile and inclusive content design
Experience working in a cross-functional team and making (ideally consumer-facing) digital products
Experience communicating design work and the user perspective in a clear, meaningful and actionable manner
Strengths in user focus, evidence and context-based content design, and prototyping.
Awareness of how best to demonstrate the value of content design methodologies and processes
A genuine interest in improving health and social care/public services (direct experience is a bonus)
Ability to work on own initiative, to organise and prioritise workload and to meet strict deadlines.
Benefits Which Matter
As a valued employee of NHS Scotland, you can enjoy an extensive range of benefits including:
Life-work balance - with opportunities for flexible working and remote working
Generous NHS pension scheme
Annual incremental progression (up to the maximum of the salary band) plus annual NHS salary scale review
Annual Leave - 27 Days increasing in line with service plus 8 days public holiday
NHS discounts and more
Diversity and Inclusion
Developing a successful national service for Scotland is impossible without ensuring we consider the diverse needs, perspectives and backgrounds of everyone in Scotland in our work.
We are focused on hiring the very best talent available for NES, and actively encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds and aim to ensure everyone is treated fairly, with respect and has a positive recruitment experience – regardless of the outcome.
It’s not essential to be in a user research role right now. You may be returning from a career break (e.g. maternity, paternity, caring for others) or returning to user research after working in another field. Your experiences elsewhere can bring a fresh perspective to our work.
If you are considering applying and feel it would be helpful to discuss this initially, please contact rohan.gunatillake@nhs.scot
Next Steps
**NHS candidates will be considered firstly on a secondment basis, and so are strongly encouraged to discuss this with their current NHS employer at the earliest opportunity, ideally prior to application.
Our recruitment process is currently 100% remote and if successful you would initially work remotely, only working from our offices once official guidance supports this.
Online interviews (including a presentation) will take place on 11th-16th December 2024. The presentation topic will be sent to candidates selected for interview.
