WORKING PATTERN: Our work style is hybrid, which involves spending at least two days per week, or 40% of our time in the office.

About this opportunity
We are looking for an experienced Inclusive Designer to embed inclusive design best practices, ensuring compliance with regulations, and ensuring inclusive design practice is embedded in the design method.

This role is pivotal in fostering a culture of accessibility and equity in design, ensuring that our products and service offerings are usable and enjoyable for people of all abilities, backgrounds and experiences.

This role would suit someone with a strong knowledge of Design and Engineering process, a collaborative working style, and deep understanding of inclusive and accessible best practice.

About the Role
The purpose of the team is to ensure inclusive experience quality for our customers and colleagues.

This role will work closely with Designers, XD Communities of Practices, engineers and CJMs as well as change management and other Group functions.

It will be your role to:

Review and update the Group's process for managing Digital Accessibility

Champion inclusive design, helping to embed best practice in design, engineering, and product development processes

Act as a subject matter expert and trusted advisor on inclusive design best practices, user needs, and accessibility standards

Stay up to date with evolving accessibility laws and regulations (e.g. EAA), influencing the Group's approach to compliance

What you'll need

Proven experience in inclusive design, accessibility or UX/UI design

Strong understanding of accessibility guidelines, usability principles, and assistive technologies

Ability to work with cross-functional teams to drive inclusive design strategy and execution

Experience in design thinking, co-creation, and design methodologies.

Knowledge of digital and physical accessibility standards (e.g., WCAG, BS 8878, ISO 30071-1)

Strong communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels.

We're looking for someone who may also have (preferred):

Experience working in tech, product development, or built environment industries

Familiarity with AI, automation, and emerging technologies in inclusive design

Hands-on experience with assistive technologies and adaptive interfaces

About working for us
Our focus is to ensure we're inclusive every day, building an organisation that reflects modern society and celebrates diversity in all its forms. We want our people to feel that they belong and can be their best, regardless of background, identity or culture.

We were one of the first major organisations to set goals on diversity in senior roles, create a menopause health package, and a dedicated Working with Cancer initiative. And it's why we especially welcome applications from under-represented groups.

We're disability confident. So if you'd like reasonable adjustments to be made to our recruitment processes, just let us know.

We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:

A generous pension contribution of up to 15%
