Product Designer (UX/UI)
Job Description
At Oak we're using innovative tech to improve access to quality education. We've ambitious plans to transform our products and support teachers to change children's lives. That's why we're growing our team across the organisation, including Product Design. We're looking for talented, mission-driven individuals to work as part of independent, cross-functional teams. Come help us close the disadvantage gap.
We are here to improve pupil outcomes and close the disadvantage gap by supporting teachers to teach, and pupils to access a high-quality curriculum.
We achieve this through building and developing our brilliant team who then collaborate with experts from across different sectors to produce the Oak platform.
On average 32,000 teachers and 170,000 pupils used Oak each week last year. By any domestic benchmark that is impressive. But it’s less than 10% of teachers and just under
3% of pupils in England. Our products must always be entirely optional for teachers, but we know from our evaluations they have a positive impact, so we want to significantly increase these numbers.
We offer flexible working where you can base yourself at home or in an office; whichever works best for you. We work a 36-hour a week and most colleagues finish early on a Friday or take every other Friday back to ensure they keep a healthy work-life mix. We believe in continually getting better as an organisation and as individuals and so there are plenty of opportunities for growth and a generous Learning and Development policy. Our team is supported with generous maternity, paternity and adoption leave so that their families get a fantastic start.
If Oak sounds like somewhere you could do your life’s best work then we would love to hear from you. We use Applied platform to support diversity in our recruitment. We won’t ask for your CV or a covering letter but we will ask you some structured questions to help us get to know you and hear how you have the right skills and expertise to lead on business IT at Oak.
Oak is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation or age.
