Design role at Girlguiding

Girlguiding is proud to be inspired and guided by girls. Now, as part of our transformation programme, we are developing a way of working and a culture that enables human-centred design to become more recognised and routine in our work.

This is an ambitious programme that is fully supported and funded by our Executive Team and Board of Trustees, providing a great opportunity to work with both our leadership and culture spaces, as we increase impact and girl experience.

We're excited to find a new team member to support this foundational work. We are looking for people who have experience, but also the enthusiasm to get alongside us as we continue to create the right conditions for design to thrive.
