Senior Service Design ConsultantURGENT — Central Government | SC Cleared Required

Some of the UK's toughest, highest-stakes services are being redesigned right now — and we need a senior service designer bold enough to lead that work.

We're looking for a Senior Service Design Consultant to lead on some of the most meaningful, complex problems in UK public service delivery. You'll bring your craft, your voice, and your judgement to work that actually matters — and you'll be trusted to lead it

⚠ Please note: this role requires active SC clearance. If you don't currently hold SC clearance, please don't apply — we won't be able to progress your application.

What's in it for you:

Up to £460/day — Inside IR35

Remote (UK-based) — occasional on-site research trips required, no soul-crushing commute

Autonomy to lead workshops, shape strategy and own your methods

Work with real accessibility & inclusivity impact, not just theory

A seat at the table — influence how services get built from the ground up

Supportive, senior-friendly agile teams who value your expertise

A CV-defining project in central government's design space

What you'll bring:

GDS / Gov Design System know-how

A talent for turning complexity into clear insight and story

Experience designing and facilitating co-design sessions

Confidence navigating tension between tech, business and user needs

A track record of getting stakeholders to see the value of design

If you're ready for a role where your seniority is respected and your ideas shape real outcomes, we'd love to hear from you.

SC Clearance required. Get your resume over asap!
