User Researcher required to work with a Government department. This is an initial 6 month contract, paying £ a day, inside IR35, hybrid working.
Job Description:
We are preparing to kick-off two phases of work in Dashboards and Dissemination:
- An alpha on metrics, following a period of discovery
- A discovery on tools, in partnership with the Analytical Platform team
This role will be supporting both the metrics alpha and tools discovery.
In the metrics alpha, you will:
- Test our shortlisted solutions to provide a 'single place to create metrics' from discovery to understand their general feasibility, viability and desirability
- Test the metric lifecycle for Outcome Delivery Plan metrics and how these can be integrated into TopView
- Undertake analysis to inform our roll out plan beyond alpha
The tools discovery will explore three main problems:
- Decisions about the tools people can use, and the security, governance and capability needs around them, are made in siloes. This is creating inefficiency, inconsistency and risk.
- In many cases, people just don't have the right tools for the job.
- In other cases, people may have the right tools for the job but they're not well integrated into the wider data ecosystem.
Across these projects, you will:
- Develop research plans
- Plan and carry out research activities
- Analyse outputs to generate insights and actions
- Identify users, understand and document their needs and develop problem statements
- Support the team in exploring how to meet user's needs
You will have experience of:
- Designing and conducting user research activities, including with people with access needs
- Working with people from other digital and data professions throughout the user research process
- Applying a range of research methods, both qualitative and quantitative, and selecting the right research method for the problem to be solved
- Turning research findings into actionable insights that can be used to inform development, through analysis and synthesis
- Communicating your findings and insights to a range of audiences
Please apply should you fit the above criteria.
