We want to make our website the number one choice for our residents and businesses by ensuring our customer journeys are simple and work.

We’re continuing with our ambition to put the user’s digital experience at the heart of any service redesign to further encourage channel shift.

You will support our continuous improvement programme which includes integrating the website with technical back-office systems, working across Customer Services and IT.

You will have excellent attention to detail and experience in creating and editing digital content using content management systems, such as Jadu, as well as manual coding with HTML and CSS.

You will have experience in applying user-centred design principles and be able to create intuitive online forms for customers to request services.

You will also have a good understanding of Government accessibility regulations and be able to design content which works with common assistive technologies to make sure that our online services are accessible to all.

This role will work across all Council departments with staff at all levels so it’s important you have strong communication skills and can work in partnership in a fast-paced environment.
