- Smart casual dress code policy
- Flexitime and homeworking options
- Simply Health Cash scheme with employee assistance programme
- Paid professional fees and study leave
- Enhanced maternity/paternity/adoption/sick leave policies
This is an exceptional opportunity to increase your experience with an established not-for-profit organisation and contribute to our image and voice.
We are truly passionate about our vision and provide a culture of transparency and innovation where teams are encouraged to think outside the box and empowered to perform at their best.
So, if you’re looking for the chance to be a part of something bigger and utilise your creativity for a fantastic cause, we’d love to hear from you.

As a Creative Media Assistant, you will help to bring issues to life through compelling human stories, engaging infographics and other creative approaches.

Specifically, you will:
- Create graphics and infographics to drive our key messages and improve the accessibility of our technical data-led information
- Manage the end-to-end production of video content
- Take photographs to support project objectives
- Ensure that our brand is maintained throughout all creative content and outputs
About You
To join us as a Creative Media Assistant, you’ll need:
- Demonstrable work experience in graphic design and/or video production
- Intermediate skills in key Adobe software (InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop)
- Proven video production skills
- An interest in the latest digital trends that could enhance content interaction and user experience
- Excellent written and verbal English communication skills
- The ability to present complex issues clearly and tailor your language both technical and non-specialist audiences through accessible narrative descriptions/explanations of data-led content
- The ability to communicate messages using data (such as through visualisations, infographics or charts)
