Are you looking for your next role as a designer? Do you want to make a difference in the lives of thousands of young people? Then look no further, this role is for you.
As the DofE’s Junior Designer, you’ll play a crucial role in bringing to life our Youth Without Limits identity and engaging audiences across branded touchpoints. Sitting in the Creative Content team, you’ll work closely with the Content Designer to support the creation of both digital and print-ready assets that clearly communicate key messages in an easy-to-understand and visually compelling way. You’ll also collaborate with teams across the charity to support their work through designed content. From the moment you start at the charity, you’ll be making a difference to young people’s lives.
This is a creative, busy and exciting new role for the charity which will include:
- Supporting and championing DofE’s brand through designed materials, ensuring our look and feel is on brand, in line with our Youth Without Limits identity and meets audience needs.
- Designing, developing and delivering a range of creative assets and materials to support a wide range of briefs – from documents and reports to fun social media content.
- Working on multiple briefs at the same time, ensuring work is delivered on-brief, on-brand and on time.
- Developing templates, creating new materials and reviewing creative content for our social channels.
We are looking for an enthusiastic candidate who is looking to take the next step in their blossoming design career. This is a junior position but not a trainee opportunity, so we are looking for someone with at least two years’ experience in a design role.
