Senior Website Desginer

Are you a creative and technically minded website designer who loves bringing designs to life and creating brilliant online experiences? We’re looking for a Senior Website Designer to join our Digital team and help shape the websites that connect patients with our practices across the UK and Ireland.

Hakim Group supports over 550 practices, with ambitious plans to reach 1,000 by 2030. Our websites play a key role in helping patients discover our practices, find the services they need and book appointments. As our digital offering continues to grow, we’re looking for someone who can deliver high-quality websites while helping us build a more efficient, consistent and scalable way of working.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll take the lead on designing and building practice websites and landing pages, bringing creative designs to life and ensuring every page is responsive, accessible and ready to perform. You’ll also take ownership of more complex builds, develop reusable templates and components, and help set the standard for quality across the wider web team.

Alongside your own projects, you’ll mentor a junior designer, sharing your knowledge and helping them develop their skills and confidence. You’ll work closely with our Digital Manager, Website Solutions Lead, Creative and SEO teams, as well as our offshore designers, to deliver websites that look great, work seamlessly and support our wider business goals.

If you’re passionate about great design, enjoy solving problems and want to make a real impact on a growing digital team, this could be the opportunity for you!
