A focused UK and Ireland jobs board classifies UCD roles and surfaces the employment details practitioners need before opening an advert.

Problem
Broad job boards mix UCD work with unrelated roles and hide the contract, location, and working-pattern details people use to shortlist.
Role
Product strategy, taxonomy, content design, listing model, interaction design, front end.
Stack
Next.js, Vercel, structured job records, discipline classification, source-linked listings.
Status
Live, carrying current roles.
The problem.
A title such as product designer, service designer, or UX writer is only the start of a job decision. Practitioners still need to know whether the work is research, systems, public-sector delivery, or brand; whether it is remote or hybrid; and for contracts, whether the quoted rate and IR35 status make sense. General job boards make every candidate repeat that classification by hand.
0→1.
Narrowed the board to user research, service design, UX and product design, content, accessibility, and design systems across the UK and Ireland.
Defined a comparable listing model for discipline, posting age, employer, location, working pattern, employment type, IR35 status, salary or day rate, and a plain-English summary.
Kept the original title visible while adding editorial classification, so the service helps people interpret a role without rewriting the source.
Made the board a discovery layer rather than an application silo: every role routes to the source listing for the authoritative details and application.
Under the hood.
Listings are normalised into structured records while preserving source titles. The classification and editorial summary form a separate interpretation layer, which allows inconsistent adverts to be compared without presenting inferred details as source facts.
Interaction.
Classification before company branding
The discipline label sits above the title, giving practitioners a fast way to scan the shape of the work before evaluating the employer.
Search the language people remember
Search covers titles, organisations, and the board's plain-English one-liners, while role tabs provide a predictable route into each UCD discipline.
Working conditions are primary content
Location, remote or hybrid pattern, employment type, IR35 status, and compensation are displayed as first-order details instead of being buried in prose.
Editorial summaries earn the click
Each short description says what the role appears to involve and flags thin or ambiguous listings, helping users decide whether opening the source is worthwhile.
The source remains authoritative
A clear visit action keeps applications and final terms with the original advertiser, avoiding stale duplicated application flows.
