Is this you?
You're passionate about design and user experience, and have a great eye for design detail. You enjoy creating and presenting elegant and efficient solutions to complex problems – always with the end user in mind.
With around 2-3 years of agency experience in UX/UI design, you have a strong understanding of web development, digital accessibility, and user behaviour. You feel confident sharing your work, and talking through concepts, solutions and challenges – with fellow designers, developers, other colleagues, and clients.
Day-to-day, you’re comfortable moving between quick-turnaround design fixes and big, slower-paced projects. You can manage your own time and to-do list – but enjoy being an active part of a friendly team focused on designing the most accessible, sustainable, and inclusive websites.
A good communicator over Slack and video calls, working from home will suit you nicely. And you have a decent internet connection. You're fluent in spoken and written English, and you live and have the right to work in the UK.

Additionally, you’ll:
(This is a design role, so we don't expect you to know how to code. But you do need a good level of understanding of front end web development.)
You may not have previous experience with everything in this job description, but if the role seems right for you – and vice versa – do consider applying.

About Supercool
Hello! We're a friendly team of problem-solvers, based all over the UK. We create websites that make life easier for arts, heritage, and cultural organisations – and their audiences.
Accessibility-focused: A belief that art and culture are for everyone runs through all that we do, so we have a strong focus on accessibility.
A 100% remote team: We all work from home, so are heavy users of Slack and video calls day-to-day, and meet in person once a year or so. We can provide financial support to help you set up a home office if you need it, as well as providing a laptop and other equipment you need to succeed in the role.
We care about your work/life balance: Standard work days are Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm. But we operate a flexible working policy with flexible start times (between 8am-10am), so you can start and finish later if that suits you. Though we try and stick to these hours, sometimes you'll be needed at other times. If you're asked to work outside of your normal hours, you'll get Time Off In Lieu. (This should be a given, but isn't always!)
Learning = good! We support and encourage openness to learn, and individuals’ professional development – making sure there’s time for R&D as part of the team, as well as self-directed learning. If you're interested in doing a course or would like to attend a conference; holler. We're excited by new developments in tech, and everyone’s ideas and input help to shape the company and how we work.
Meet the team 👋 Passionate, knowledgeable, and experienced, we're a mix of developers, designers, digital strategists, and data geeks. Meet the folks you'll be working with over on the About page of our website.
