The Role
We’re recruiting for User Researchers here at Justice Digital to be part of our warm and collaborative product teams, in the following area:
• Legal Aid Agency (LAA)
This role aligns against User Researcher from the Government Digital and Data Framework
We’re looking for User Researchers who want to make a difference by working on public services that really matter.
You’ll be welcomed into a thriving user research community and into multidisciplinary teams, alongside designers, business analysts, product managers, delivery managers and developers all working together to deliver world-class, user-centred services.
We are currently experimenting with different delivery models, so some of the time you might find yourself embedded full time on a product team, and at other times you might be providing research support to a couple of product teams in parallel. You may be working alongside other researchers, or as a single researcher in a team. We are therefore looking for researchers who have pragmatic, flexible ways of working.
