We’re seeking an experienced Volunteer Designer to create engaging, accessible designs that help us communicate effectively with our community and wider audiences.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design high-quality graphics for social media campaigns, events, and awareness days. Create visual assets for newsletters, website content, and downloadable resources. Maintain brand consistency and accessibility across all designs. Translate complex health information into clear, audience-friendly visuals. Collaborate on creative concepts, bringing fresh and innovative ideas.
