Join Our Team as a UX/UI Designer at Sanctuary Personnel

Are you an experienced UX/UI Designer looking for a new opportunity within an industry that enables you to have a direct, positive impact on those that provide vital healthcare services across the UK? Sanctuary Personnel is currently seeking a user-focused designer to join our market-leading and multi-award-winning team.

About Us:

At Sanctuary Personnel, we are a renowned health and social care recruitment company that proudly employs over 200 talented individuals at our central Ipswich head office. Working closely with local authorities and major healthcare employers across the UK, we are recognised as one of the region's most successful businesses, ranking 11th in the Suffolk Top 100 companies (Grant Thornton Suffolk Limited 100, 2022).

We’re undergoing a transformation, developing a multi-year strategy to harness technology to deliver exceptional service to our clients while nurturing long-term relationships with our candidates. Our recruitment consultants do an exceptional job already (read our reviews) but they’re constrained by admin tasks and manual processes. In the next 3 years we’ll revolutionise the business by laying a foundation of data integrity & insights, achieve considerable growth through technology-enabled business & process optimisation, while developing new products to further enhance our relationship with clients and candidates, enabling Sanctuary Group to expand into new international markets. Join us on the journey.

Location: Hybrid with 2 days per week from Ipswich office
