    Brief

    The Irish Department of Education and Youth is seeking two embedded Service Designers to provide specialist design support over a 12-month period. The designers will work within cross-functional project teams to advance the Common Application System for school admissions and support the Department's digital transformation goals under Better Public Services 2030. Key responsibilities include leading user research, journey mapping, prototyping, and future-state service design. The role requires both hands-on project delivery and capability building, with the Service Designers working alongside a Service Design Lead to establish and embed design methodologies and best practices within the Department's Project Management Office. This is an opportunity to directly influence education digital services for Ireland's students and families while building service design capability within government.
