Seeking experienced freelancers for Partnership in Service Design and Production to drive transformational change in response to social needs.
The summary above was generated by AI

Our mission is to seek out areas of social need and policy failure and make transformational change using design and technology. We believe that government, organisations and businesses can be a force of good but there can be a gap between their understanding of, and ability to meet the expectations of those needing positive change. Our job is to use design, technology and production to narrow the gap between those with the power and responsibility to make a positive change, and those who need it. 

We are always looking to partner and work with great people, and are looking for a handful of amazing freelancers who want to build a close working relationship with us, and be our go-to people when we need an extra set of hands. We are looking to build these relationships generally, but do have a current need for Senior Service Designers and also Producers in one of our product teams.

How to submit your application:
