Job description

I’m thrilled to support a leading global children’s charity, ending the education crisis, to recruit their new Design Assistant to support the hands‑on creation of visual content across digital and print design, photo and editing and brand development within their in‑house Creative Studio.

Their Creative Studio produces high-quality visual materials for the charity’s campaigning, advocacy, fundraising and project work — including photography, short‑form video, social media assets, infographics and print/digital materials.

This is a highly practical, creative role ideal for someone at the start of their design or content‑production career who wants to develop their skills across design, photography, video editing and digital asset creation.

You’ll join a forward‑thinking charity, who work a 4-day working week.

We’re looking for someone hands‑on, creative and eager to learn:

• A proactive, collaborative, enthusiastic ‘can do’ attitude.
• Some experience and training in design and video editing (formal or self‑taught). Photo editing is a plus.
• Confident with design or editing tools (e.g. Adobe Creative Cloud)
• Familiar with social media channels and individual channel requirements.
• Strong attention to detail and a good visual eye.
• Ability to work to follow brand guidelines and follow creative direction.
• Able to effectively manage multiple projects and timelines.

If this sounds like you, then I’d love to hear from you. Please apply now!

• Salary: £28,000
• 4 day week! Employees work Monday‑Thursday.
• Location: Central London office (hybrid, 2 days a week in the office near Liverpool street)
