Department: Customer Journey

Citizens Advice offers confidential advice online, over the phone, and in person, for free. Through our national network of charities, we give people the knowledge and the confidence they need to find their way forward – whoever they are, and whatever their problem.

We particularly welcome applications from disabled and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates as BAME and disabled people are currently under-represented throughout Citizens Advice. We are a member of the race equality campaign at Business in the Community, the Prince’s responsible business network and are committed to improving employment opportunities for ethnic minorities across the UK. We also welcome applications from, LGB and Trans and non binary candidates.
We have made a positive commitment to employing disabled people and guarantee to interview all disabled candidates who meet the minimum essential criteria for the role as set out in role profiles.

We’re looking for an experienced and inclusive problem-solver, with lots of experience of product design, to lead our Product Design community at Citizens Advice. You’ll lead a multi-level team of Product Designers working across the organisation, collectively delivering a sustainable, user-led approach to advice. The team is at the heart of the organisation’s ambition to deliver our vision for 2022.

We’re growing fast, and today, we have 7 multidisciplinary product teams in our London office, split across four areas: public advice, adviser-facing services, platforms, and funded programmes.

What we mean when we say ‘Product Design’

In Customer Journey we often design digital products, but we’re not limited to digital. Our Product Designers designs products, touchpoints, and services. We break Product  Design down to 4 aspects of design:

• User Experience (UX) Design?—?how a thing feels
• Interaction Design?—?how a thing behaves
• User Interface Design?—?how a thing looks
• Information Architecture?—?how a thing is structured

You’ll lead the practice of product design across all of these areas, solving difficult design problems and working on things that really matter. You’ll bring your team onboard with ideas, and coordinate design activities across multiple products to enable a clear and unified user experience. 

You’ll be responsible for ensuring the right conditions for designers to work effectively. You’ll set design direction, assure the quality of design delivery across teams, and make sure we design with all users in mind. You’ll be an ally and mentor to other designers who will learn from your skills and experience.

You’ll provide leadership and coaching to the Product Design community, ensuring the team work collaboratively and consistently across all products and platforms. You will help us meet our mission by discovering new ways of approaching (and solving) complex problems and concepts, across the full breadth of product design.

Everyone is welcome at Citizens Advice. We care deeply about inclusive working practices and diverse teams. If you’d prefer to work flexibly, or part-time, we’ll facilitate this — whether to help you meet other commitments or to help you strike a great work-life balance. Several of our leadership team work 4 days a week, and we all work from home regularly.

Please note, in the event of a high number of applications, we reserve the right to close the application early. 

5 billion people do not have access to safe, affordable surgical and anaesthesia care when needed. Can you help a growing organisation address a neglected area of global health care?

Surgery and anaesthesia have a fundamental impact on global health outcomes. Surgical intervention could address over 30% of the global burden of disease, and yet the poorest 33% of people receive just 3.5% of all surgery.

We seek to change this. However with the spread of coronavirus around the world, many of our sought after on-site programmes and courses in anaesthesia care have been suspended. While this has delayed our ability to provide face to face education and training where it is most needed, it also presents us with an exciting opportunity to explore alternative ways to deliver.

The role reports to the Head of Programmes, will liaise regularly with the CEO and will work closely with all members of the Secretariat as well as the WFSA’s Education and other Committees and key stakeholders involved in project outcomes.

This is a new role which offers huge scope for development and learning across a broad remit.

Purpose of the Role

With the input of the Education Committee in particular, the Programmes Team is responsible for the delivery and implementation of all aspects of training and education provided around the world by the WFSA. This role will lead on the design, development and roll-out of a high-quality digital learning experience in three initial stages:

• Working with senior clinicians (training course leads) to transform pre-existing onsite training modules and short training courses into high-quality online products that can be effectively monitored and evaluated. This will result in developing new online training programmes as “stand-alone” courses as well as designing complements to onsite training courses (hybrid models).
• Managing and evaluating existing online learning resources such as the WFSA’s Anaesthesia Tutorial of the Week, Update in Anaesthesia Journal, Virtual Library and COVID-19 Resources.
• Working with WFSA Committees, our clinical volunteers and a variety of partners to establish and deliver new digital learning such as courses, webinars, educational videos and online lectures.

Key Tasks and Responsibilities

You will lead on the design, development, maintenance and roll out of our online educational programmes using a range of e-Learning tools and platforms under the guidance of the Head of Programmes. Working alongside the Head of Programmes, WFSA Secretariat and expert volunteer clinicians, you will ensure that the WFSA’s digital education and training is appropriate to the needs of the intended audience, educationally robust, addresses equality, diversity and inclusion (relating to educational access by a range of learners), is evidence based, sustainable and positively impacts on practice.

As part of this role you will be responsible for supporting the WFSA’s Education Committee in identifying areas for improving education and training and propose innovative solutions for meeting current and future needs through the use of digital technology. You will provide expertise and input into the direction of WFSA’s overarching digital education strategy and lead on operational planning, development and delivery of digital education for WFSA, which includes fully online programmes, blended programmes and the general provision of digital resources.

• Educated to degree level (or equivalent)

We are looking to recruit a Digital and Creative Communications Officer with significant experience across all aspects of digital communications, with a keen eye for storytelling. 

This post requires an individual looking for a challenging new role, who is ready to take on this exciting and varied opportunity supporting a busy and ambitious team. In this role you will create, curate and disseminate digital content across a wide range of online channels including social media, website, newsletters, publications and others. You will monitor, record and evaluate the performance and reach of our content across all digital channels and work with the Communications Team to develop new and creative ideas to enhance the impact of our work in humanitarian research and innovation.

Being able to build successful relationships across the organisation will also be vital, along with strong communications skills and the ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines.

We’re a global charity, working to find solutions to complex humanitarian problems through research and innovation. We fund and support work that goes on to shape the way in which people across the world are supported during a crisis.
