hedgehog lab | Government Projects

This is an upcoming opportunity. The role is not yet live but we expect to be hiring shortly. Register your interest now and we'll be in touch as soon as the position opens.

We're looking for a Content Designer to join hedgehog lab on a contract basis, shaping the words inside government services so that they're clear, useful, and accessible to everyone who needs them.

You'll work from evidence, research findings, analytics, policy documents, to write content that guides users through complex processes without confusion or dead ends. You'll push back on jargon, challenge unnecessary complexity, and advocate for the user when stakeholders default to covering-all-bases language.

You'll bring:

• Experience designing content for government digital services

• Familiarity with GOV.UK content standards and the GDS style guide

• The ability to translate dense policy or legal language into plain English without losing accuracy

• Experience working collaboratively in multidisciplinary agile teams

• Confidence in content critique and the ability to explain your decisions clearly
