Goonj is an award-winning organisation that has worked for over twenty years to tackle material poverty. Its approach is built on dignity, reusing materials, and people taking part in their own development. Goonj works to change how people see giving: not as charity, but as shared responsibility, where discarded things find new value and communities are equal partners. Communication at Goonj is about more than being seen. It shapes how people think, builds respect, and connects people, materials and purpose. This role sits within Goonj's Communication Team, which tells the story of this work across social media, email, print and the web.

Role

The Designer - Communications turns Goonj's values into visuals. You will understand the depth of Goonj's work and show it through designs that are simple, respectful and powerful, without falling into stereotypes or charity-style images. Working in a fast-moving, campaign-driven setting, you will own design work from start to finish, from understanding the brief to delivering the final files, while helping strengthen Goonj's wider communication systems.
