As a Barclays UI/UX Designer, you will ensure that clients, customers, and colleagues have an efficient and excellent overall experience when using websites and applications. You will have responsibility for conducting user research, creating wireframes, and developing user flows. Further to this, you will ensure that you sufficiently understand Barclays’ standards for usability and accessibility when applying them to the user experience.

Please discuss the working pattern requirements for the role you are applying for with the hiring manager.
