You will have responsibility for the production of design concepts and engaging multimedia visuals for the University’s portfolio of online, Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and credit-bearing courses.

You should be able to evidence experience of defining brand and visual identities, as well as designing web-based content and promotional material. This role will involve working closely with the Creative Lead and Creative and Learning Technology Manager, as well as with Content and Production personnel within the Digital Education Service.
