Job description
Drawing attention to public health issues – designer wanted!
We’re always looking at better, more modern and smarter ways of communicating with our residents and that includes through excellent and creative graphic design.

What we’re looking for…
We’re looking for a team player with excellent graphic design skills and creative flair. Someone who understands the digital landscape but who also know how important good quality traditional design is.
