Junior Designer

We’re looking for a creative and motivated person to join our team and help to deliver ambitious communications for our clients in the UK and Europe. You’ll be working with other designers alongside copywriters, web-developers, environmental consultants, scientists and people from diverse backgrounds to help produce high quality content that engages our target audiences.

As a Junior Designer you will:
  • Support our team in delivering creative communications for many different organisations and projects in the UK and Europe.
  • Design and produce a wide range of communications for print, digital and multimedia, including web interfaces, social media graphics, publications, infographics, signage and exhibitions.
  • Collaborate with web developers to create innovative tools to communicate complex information.
  • Work with our suppliers to oversee the production, delivery and installation of communication materials.
  • Work with people from other organisations on partnership projects, including attending and contributing to meetings online and in-person.
  • Keep a record of your work for the purpose of project monitoring and reporting.
