You’ll collaborate closely with our Senior Graphic Designer, Creative Artworker, Videographer, Social Media Leads, and the wider Content team. Together, we’ll make sure our creative output is bold, consistent and full of heart.

- A solid grasp of social media trends and digital best practice
- The ability to adapt tone and messaging for a range of audiences
- a minimum of 2 years’ experience working in a similar or comparable role
Most importantly, you care about the difference your work makes – and you bring warmth, passion and purpose to everything you do.
About the Team
We’re a small, friendly, and mighty in-house team with big ambitions. We collaborate, we challenge each other, and we support each other – because we know the power of great storytelling.
Our team values reflect our culture:
I.C.A.R.E. – Innovative, Collaborative, Authentic, Resourceful, Energetic
