We’re looking for a Junior Designer who will learn to play an important part in supporting our creative team by delivering work to the highest possible standard. Over time, and through closely shadowing our Head of Design, you’ll develop skills that will see you working on a wide range of client projects; from creating social media assets and producing digital content to designing ads for print, OOH and everything in between.

You’ll need to be enthusiastic, tenacious, creative in nature, and have some design experience – whether you’ve developed this through education, any qualifications or a personal hobby, we want to see you bringing your A game, along with a portfolio that shows this potential.
