About The Role
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of the Resident Experience and Localities Team as a Content Design Lead. The Content Design Lead will be responsible for ensuring the design aligns to the web services strategy, and information available on Hounslow.gov.uk, Hounslow Connect and other digital channels, is accurate and meets accessibility standards.

We provide a positive, consistent and inclusive experience when contacting Hounslow via any of its access channels, ensuring first point of contact resolution wherever possible.
Our teams empower residents to access and request services online, whilst our in-person services are designed to provide holistic support to those who need it the most. Resident Experience and Localities put residents at the heart of everything we do and strive to evolve our offer as residents' and communities' expectations and needs change.
The Content Design Lead will be reporting to the Web Services Lead.
