Job description

Volunteer Graphic Designer

Create the visual identity for a new charity on a mission to unlock potential

At Unlock YOUR Potential, we believe that an accident of birth should never determine a person’s destination. We are building a new social‑mobility charity dedicated to empowering adults from low‑income backgrounds and communities facing the highest levels of deprivation. Our mission is simple but ambitious: to break barriers, open doors, and unlock the potential that has always been there.

We are preparing to launch — and now we need a talented creative who can help us bring our brand to life.

Your Mission: Design a Brand That Inspires Change

We are looking for a Volunteer Graphic Designer who can create a powerful, meaningful and memorable logo and brand identity that captures the heart of our mission.

This is a chance to shape the visual identity of a charity from day one. Your work will become the face of our movement — appearing across our website, social media, programmes, campaigns and future impact.

You will:

Design a bold, inspiring logo that reflects unlocking potential, opportunity and transformation
Develop a simple but impactful brand identity (colours, typography, visual style)
Create initial brand assets for use across digital platforms
Work closely with the Founder to understand our mission, values and audience
Help translate our purpose into a visual language that resonates with the communities we serve

Your creativity will help us communicate hope, empowerment and possibility to people who need it most.

Who we’re looking for

You’ll be a great fit if you are:

A creative thinker with experience in graphic design or brand development
Someone who can turn ideas and values into compelling visual concepts
Passionate about social mobility, fairness and creating positive change
Able to commit a short burst of time over the coming weeks to help us prepare for launch
Excited by the idea of shaping the identity of a brand‑new charity

Whether you’re an experienced designer or an emerging creative looking to build your portfolio, your work will have real purpose and real impact.

Why this role matters

A brand is more than a logo — it’s a promise. A signal of trust. A spark of recognition. A symbol of hope.

Your designs will help us reach people who have been overlooked, underestimated or held back by circumstance. You will help us communicate possibility to adults who deserve the chance to thrive.
