Job description

So, what will I be doing?

We're on the lookout for a talented Brand Designer with a sharp eye for detail to join our in-house creative team.

In this varied role, you’ll support the Brand Guardian across a wide range of projects—predominantly focusing on packaging design, but also developing creative concepts, digital assets and print materials at times.

You’ll play a key part in managing our brand asset library and ensuring our brand guidelines are applied consistently and effectively.

Hours: This role is 30 hours a week, based at our Head Office in the village of Blagdon.

Salary: Up to £36,000 pro rata dependent on experience.

Sounds interesting, what do I need?

You’re a talented designer, with packaging experience, who’s got a sharp eye for detail, a love of great design, and a deep understanding of how brand identity comes to life.

You know how to interpret (and sometimes stretch) brand guidelines to create work that feels fresh but unmistakably on-brand.

You’re collaborative, take pride in maintaining consistency and have passion for food, sustainability, and brands with real heart.

You’ll Bring

• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, etc.)
• Demonstrable experience in packaging design and a good knowledge of print processes and substrates
• A confident grasp of branding and visual identity, with the ability to creatively interpret and evolve guidelines
• Strong typography and layout skills, with a great sense of hierarchy and composition
• Exceptional attention to detail and consistency
• A collaborative approach and the ability to take and act on direction

Why should I join the family?

We’re independent, British and proud to be making the highest quality yogurts, desserts and ice cream under the Yeo Valley brand and for many of the UK’s major retailers. Operating from four dairies and two logistics centres in Somerset and Devon, we employ over 1700 staff and produce more than 25% of the UK’s packaged yogurt.

We’re sure you don’t need convincing, but there’s a whole host of benefits that we offer including:

• 25 days’ holiday, plus bank holidays
• non-contributory pension scheme
• annual bonus (as part of the Employee Benefit Trust, based on company performance for the year)
