Who are we?

At Newcross Healthcare, we’re transforming

healthcare through innovation, technology, and education—anchored by our values

of Integrity, Respect, Empathy, and Teamwork.

As one of the UK’s leading providers of

healthcare staffing and professional development, we empower over 80,000 health

and social care professionals with smarter workforce tools, free digital

learning, and accredited training.

By combining professional excellence and

intelligent technology with genuine human compassion, we’re shaping a more

connected, caring future for healthcare. Our values guide everything we do,

ensuring exceptional care for patients and unwavering support for our teams.

Who are you?

We’re

looking for an experienced Product Designer to join the Product &

Technology team at Newcross Healthcare, helping shape digital products used by

healthcare professionals, care providers and our internal teams.

This

is a hands-on opportunity to solve complex problems and turn them into simple,

intuitive, accessible experiences that genuinely make a difference. You’ll be

involved across the full product lifecycle — from discovery, research and

prototyping through to delivery, measurement and continuous improvement.

Healthcare

experience isn’t essential. We’re more interested in how you think, solve

problems and work with others. Experience in SaaS, marketplaces, workforce

technology, logistics, fintech, travel, booking platforms or other complex

operational products could translate well.

You’ll

work closely with Product Managers, Engineers, users and senior stakeholders,

helping shape both individual features and the wider direction and quality of

our products.

What will you do?

Whilst

a full job description can be supplied here are a few of the key

responsibilities for the role:

• Working with Product

  Managers, Engineers and stakeholders to understand problems, explore

  opportunities and shape product direction.
  
  

• Translating complex

  workflows, systems and requirements into clear, simple and intuitive

  experiences.
  
  

• Conducting and contributing to user research, usability testing and discovery activities.
  
  

• Using qualitative and

  quantitative insight, behavioural data and product metrics to inform and

  validate design decisions.
  
  

• Creating user journeys, flows, wireframes, prototypes and high-fidelity product designs.
  
  

• Working closely with

  Engineers throughout delivery to make sure the intended experience is brought

  to life effectively.
  
  

• Defining appropriate

  measures of success and using feedback and product performance to identify

  opportunities for improvement.
  
  

• Contributing to and

  evolving our design system, helping create scalable, consistent and accessible

  experiences.
  
  

• Championing accessibility and inclusive design throughout the product development process.
  
  

• Clearly communicating

  design rationale, including the evidence, assumptions and trade-offs behind

  your decisions.
  
  

• Collaborating with other designers through critiques, workshops and knowledge sharing.
  
  

• Helping us continuously improve how design works within cross-functional product teams.
  
  

• Exploring appropriate uses ofAI and emerging design tools to accelerate discovery, prototyping and delivery while maintaining a high standard of design quality.
  
  

What we’ll be looking for: (skills, experience + qualifications):

• Experience as a Product

  Designer, UX/UI Designer or similar, ideally working on digital products rather

  than primarily marketing or brand work.
  
  

• A strong portfolio

  demonstrating end-to-end product design, including the thinking and

  decision-making behind your work.
  
  

• Experience working within cross-functional teams alongside Product Managers and Engineers.
  
  

• Strong UX and

  interaction design skills, with the ability to simplify complicated journeys,

  ystems and workflows.
  
  

• Experience designing responsive web products and/or native mobile applications.
  
  

• Confidence working with

  ambiguity and making informed decisions when perfect information isn’t

  available.
  
  

• Experience using user research and usability testing to influence product decisions.
  
  

• An understanding of product metrics and how design outcomes can be measured after launch.
  
  

• Strong prototyping skills and experience using tools such as Figma.
  
  

• Experience working with or contributing to design systems and reusable component libraries.
  
  

• A good understanding of accessibility and inclusive design principles, including WCAG.
  
  

• Excellent communication

  and stakeholder-management skills, with the confidence to explain and

  constructively defend design decisions.
  
  

• The ability to balance

  user needs, business goals and technical constraints rather than considering

  design in isolation.
  
  

• Experience mentoring or

  supporting other designers and helping raise the quality of design across a

  team.
  
  

• Confidence working with

  senior stakeholders and communicating the evidence, rationale and trade-offs

  behind significant product decisions.
