User Research Study: Help improve a government jobs website

We are working to improve a government website that helps people find and apply for jobs. We are running user research to better understand how people search for and use job information online, and how we can make the experience clearer, easier, and more accessible.

Your feedback will directly inform improvements to the design and usability of the website. What’s involved

If you take part, you will join two online sessions:

Tech check (30 minutes)

A short session to check your device, internet connection, and audio/video setup before the main session.

User feedback session (1 hour)

A one-hour session where you will:

• Explore a government jobs website with a researcher
• Complete realistic job-search tasks
• Share your thoughts and feedback as you go
• Discuss what works well and what could be improved
• There are no right or wrong answers. We’re interested in your real experience. 

When the sessions will take place

All sessions will be held online via Microsoft Teams.

• Tech check: 9 – 11 June
• User feedback session: 16 – 19 June

If selected, you will be scheduled a specific time within these dates after registering. Who can take part

We are looking for people who:

• Have searched for a job online in the past 12 months
• Use websites or mobile devices (with or without assistive technology)
• Use assistive technologies such as screen readers

Join Our Research Community

We’re building a community of people who want to help improve accessibility and inclusion across digital and physical services.

We’re looking for people with lived experience of disability, as well as people who experience barriers when using websites, apps, products, services, or public spaces. This might include older adults, neurodivergent people, people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities, people with low digital confidence or anyone who has found that something wasn’t designed with their needs, circumstances, or way of interacting in mind.

By joining our research community you may be invited to share your experiences and feedback, take part in interviews, workshops and usability testing. All with the aim to help shape more accessible and inclusive services
