As a Senior UX Designer for Now-U, you will lead the effort to increase the impact of our campaigns to ensure we raise awareness of the important issues we champion.

Now-u is a non-profit website and app, launched in July 2020 with a mission to inform, involve and inspire people to help tackle some of the world's most pressing environmental and social problems related to i) human rights and welfare, ii) protecting the world around us, and iii) preserving our species and the planet.

Some of our past campaigns:

• Promoting Zero Waste
• Tackling modern slavery across the globe
• Improving disability equality in the UK
• improving mental health in the UK
• supporting people facing homelessness in the UK

Through promotion we also engage with users of our app and website. By giving people actionable opportunities to help further the cause of our chosen campaigns (i.e. donating to certain charities, writing to your local MP, links to sign petitions), we work to create an engaging space whereby anyone can help contribute and tackle some of the challenges we face today.

How we create a campaign:

• The team looks at what issues would be best to tackle for a particular month
• It considers multiple factors: Recent developments impacting charitable causes, public and media attention, upcoming parliamentary debates and more
• We prepare a proposal for the campaign, gathering info, learning materials and suggested actions to complete
• We then reach out to charities and social enterprises to work with us
• They suggest improvements, and propose actions to support their work
• We prepare all these materials to be presented in accessible and engaging ways on the app
• We use other supporting materials like campaign videos, blog articles and social media

The number of actions that our app users are taking to support charities and good causes is what will improve the impact of our campaigns.

Whilst actions are taken on the app, not the website, our website is the main gateway for our target audience to download the app. It also showcases our organisation, and raises awareness about the causes thanks to our blog. According to Stanford university, 75% of people judge the credibility of an organisation based on the design of its website, so this role is critical in helping us achieve this.

We also have plans to enable mobile app users to access their now-u account through the website, so there is a mix of improvements and brand-new functionalities.

Your role

Due to the nature of volunteering work, you’ll be autonomous, but also know when to get advice and feedback from the rest of your team. Your responsibilities include:

• Understanding and applying the recommendations from the insights team (based on user research, market and competitive analysis)

• Create prototypes and wireframes

• Determine information architecture and create sitemaps

• Working with the user research team to set up usability testing sessions

You are a problem solver with a customer-first mindset. You are creative and self-motivated.

Qualifications and Experience

• UX/UI and website design at a mid-senior level is essential
• Accessibility standards at a mid-senior level however is desirable

Volunteering with Now-u is an opportunity to provide really important support to a new project that we hope could really make a positive difference in the world. You would also become part of a small friendly volunteer team who would love to work collaboratively.
