We are looking to employ an experienced and committed person to join our team as an Inclusive Co-Designer. You will need to be a blend of creative and methodical, friendly and engaging and thoughtful and empathetic. We expect you to be able to confidently draw upon practiced techniques and methods in co-design, service design and/or user research whilst also being flexible and adaptable to the changing needs around us. We embrace diversity of insight, talent and backgrounds and are held together by common values of integrity, quality, creativity, curiosity, inclusivity and respect.
The role will involve working with stakeholders including people with living and learnt experience, e.g. people who need services, commissioners and clinical staff to ensure that co-design remains at the heart of digital innovation and improvement. It is important to us that we work in an inclusive way and always consider how we can involve people who are seldom heard. This means we are often flexible in our approach and aim to understand individual needs so we can lift barriers people may face in being involved in our work. The post holder will have exceptional facilitation and communication skills as well as the ability to synthesise information into high quality reports and product specifications.

What our colleagues say about working here
“I love that we are rooted within the NHS and using my skills and experience somewhere helping to make a difference. It’s rewarding work within a flexible and friendly team.”
“Everyone at Thrive by Design knows that the other team members have their back, it is ok to admit when things aren’t going so well, to cry and to laugh and to ask for and offer help. The impact we have had and the culture of kindness embedded in our team hasn’t been down to one person, it is because every single member of the team plays their role and cares about each other and the world around them.”
“These new roles have become available at such an exciting time for Thrive by Design. Some weeks we take a step back and can’t quite believe all the places we have been, challenges we have overcome together and things we have learned. I am so proud of the team and can’t wait to meet the people who are going to help shape our next chapter.”
