Due to Covid-19, this is initially an agile role so you can be based anywhere in the UK. As we start to re-open our offices for staff, you are welcome to use one of the UnLtd office hubs in London, Bradford or Birmingham, or a satellite office in Scotland or Northern Ireland. We welcome applications from anywhere across the UK and are open to discuss flexible working, including working from home. UnLtd is the leading provider of support to social entrepreneurs in the UK and offers the largest such network in the world. Our mission is to find social entrepreneurs with bold solutions to today’s challenges. Through funding and support, we help them to realise their potential and creating lasting change.
UnLtd values diversity and is committed to inclusion and understanding intersectionality. These are more than just buzz words for us; they are principles guiding how we build our teams, support leaders and empower social entrepreneurs. We want to create an organisation that’s the right fit for everyone we work with.
To support an inclusive environment where employees feel empowered to share their lived experiences and ideas, we have embedded an equity and inclusion group within UnLtd, giving us a wide range of different perspectives in our work to help us see what is most needed in society. We are particularly keen to hear from those who identify as Black, Asian or minority ethnic, LGBTQIA, people who are disabled, those with learning differences, those with caring responsibilities, from a less advantaged socioeconomic background as well as any other under-represented group in our workforce.

About the role:
You will be passionate about inclusive design and skilled at simplifying learning content for impact and accessibility. You may have some experience of using different research methods to inform your work but more importantly, you enjoy connecting with people, understanding the barriers they may face and working to improve their experiences through your work.
As a mid-level designer at UnLtd, you will use multiple forms of research and stakeholder participation to design our learning content for social entrepreneurs and supporting our end-to-end user experience. The focus of your work will be on project delivery in complex and demanding environments where you will need to balance the needs of users with business or organisational constraints. You will actively manage the content curation for aspects of our support offer (such as social impact measurement, inclusive practice and routes to market) helping us to deliver against our goal for continuous improvement of our support offer for social entrepreneurs.
You will be comfortable working across teams to identify the best methods of delivering support, professionalising and/or pooling the content together into useable tools and materials for our teams to deliver.
We particularly welcome applications from disabled people, Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQIA and from different socio-economic and educational backgrounds and we are committed to offering employment opportunities for people with criminal convictions. As a result, we will only ask you about any criminal convictions at initial offer stage. Your information will be treated fairly and confidentially and will not automatically exclude you from the role that you have applied for.
