Part-time jobs
About the role
As Finance Officer, you’ll play a vital part in keeping Plantlife’s financial operations running smoothly and accurately. Working closely with the Senior Finance Officer, you’ll take responsibility for the day‑to‑day processing that underpins our financial integrity—from coding invoices and preparing weekly payment runs to maintaining clear, well‑organised records and supporting month‑end routines.
You’ll work across multiple systems, help reconcile income from our CRM, and ensure colleagues have the information they need to manage their budgets confidently. This is a hands‑on role where accuracy, curiosity and a willingness to learn really matter.
You’ll be supported to build your skills, develop your understanding of charity finance and grow into more complex tasks over time, including restricted funds, audit preparation and process improvement.
If you’re looking for a role where you can deepen your finance experience, contribute to a mission‑driven organisation and be part of a friendly, collaborative remote team, this is a great opportunity to take the next step in your career.
About you
You’ll bring a strong eye for detail and a commitment to getting things right first time.
You’re confident working with numbers, comfortable navigating different systems and able to follow established processes with accuracy and care. You can manage your own workload, stay organised and use your initiative to solve routine problems or spot when something doesn’t look quite right.
At the same time, you’re a team player who communicates clearly, asks questions when needed and enjoys working with colleagues across the organisation. You don’t need to know everything on day one—what matters most is your willingness to learn, your reliability and your enthusiasm for supporting a smooth, well‑run finance function. If you’re looking to build your finance career in a supportive environment where your work makes a real difference, we’d love to hear from you.

About us
The Economist Educational Foundation is a fast-growing charity on a mission to ensure that every child is empowered to think critically and communicate effectively about the world’s most complex current issues. Last year, 10,800 teachers downloaded Topical Talk lessons, reaching 532,000 children in over 86 countries. We are on track to double this number, reaching over 1 million school children by the end of 2026.
Topical Talk helps children join inspiring discussions about the news by providing weekly lessons for classroom discussions, international prizes and teacher training partnerships. Our programme has received international recognition, including from UNESCO and the Global Media and Information Literacy Awards. High-quality graphic design is central to what we do; our teachers love our resources because they are beautifully presented, designed to enhance student learning and to inspire a lifelong curiosity about the world around them.
The role
We are seeking a creative, agile and ambitious Graphic Designer to lead the visual identity of our flagship educational programme, Topical Talk Headlines.
Working three days a week, this role offers an extraordinary amount of creative freedom. Every week brings a brand-new global news story, and it will be up to you to establish its unique look and feel. From choosing typography and vibrant colour palettes to deciding between illustration and photography, you will have the autonomy to design resources that make complex, intimidating global issues accessible and engaging for young people aged 10-16 around the world.
Reporting to the Director of Programmes and working closely with our experienced in-house Designer, you will be embedded in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. You will partner with our expert team of ex-teacher content creators to brainstorm, iterate and deliver world-class classroom resources on tight, overlapping deadlines. While your primary focus will be Topical Talk Headlines, you will also support wider brand and marketing projects across the charity as time allows.
Responsibilities
Visual identity and resource creation:
- Own the weekly design of Topical Talk Headlines: translate complex global topics into beautiful, clear and practical learning resources, from worksheets and posters to interactive slides and educational games
- Design for global accessibility: use clear information hierarchy, considered layouts and colour-signposting to support teachers and ensure students, including those learning in a non-native language, can seamlessly navigate nuanced concepts
- Uphold our brand standard: deliver high-quality, polished designs that our teachers expect and that reflect the premium reputation of The Economist Educational Foundation
- Design for modern youth experiences: create contemporary, vibrant visuals that reflect and respect how young people engage with the world
- Source impactful imagery: curate and adapt photography and illustration using stock libraries as a base, applying our specific brand guidelines to pick authentic, non-cliché visuals that resonate with children and enhance global stories
Collaboration and production management:
- Work in tandem with Educational Content Leads: engage in rapid, collaborative feedback loops to edit and refine resources, ensuring perfect alignment between the text and visual design
- Manage overlapping production schedules: stay highly organised across a quick, 2.5-week production cycle from initial brainstorming to final digital publication
- Maintain strict quality control: catch typos, spot alignment issues and make sure layouts stay clean and consistent from page to page
Innovation and process improvement:
- Proactively suggest process improvements: identify new tools, templates or workflows to optimise our internal production and feedback loops
- Champion student engagement: stay curious about modern design trends. Gather visual inspiration to introduce interactive digital formats or fresh aesthetic approaches to our lessons
Skills and behaviours
You are a creative self-starter who is passionate about global current affairs and believes that great design can change how young people understand the world. You possess the following:
- A portfolio of inspiring design: proven experience delivering highly visual layouts that synthesise complex information beautifully and cleanly
- Speed, agility and decisiveness: the ability to work efficiently within a 3-day week, making confident design decisions and implementing editorial feedback rapidly
- Flawless attention to detail: ensuring final resources are completely error-free
- A deeply collaborative spirit: you love brainstorming, co-creating and working side-by-side with content writers to elevate concepts
- Technical mastery: highly proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop) as well as PowerPoint and Google Slides. Comfort using or upskilling in tools like Canva and Vimeo is a plus.
Experience
You have...
- A degree in graphic design, illustration, visual communication or a related discipline – or equivalent professional portfolio experience
- Mid-weight industry experience working in-house, within an agency or as an established freelancer
- Extensive experience designing multi-page documents, slide decks or interactive educational/informational assets
- Experience managing tight, cyclical production deadlines independently
You might also have (desirable but not essential):
- Data visualisation: experience interpreting data to create clear, accurate charts, graphs and infographics
- UX/UI web design: basic experience or an understanding of user experience design to help shape how teachers interact with our resources online
- Video editing/animation: experience creating or editing short-form video and motion graphics, on Premiere Pro, After Effects or Canva
