This would suit a junior designer who is looking for flexible freelance work and wants to gain experience working across a varied range of real-world client projects.

Work will be offered on an ad-hoc basis, depending on workload and project requirements. I can’t guarantee a number of hours at the moment, but I’m looking to build a reliable working relationship with someone I can come back to regularly.

Projects could include:

• Supporting larger branding and identity projects

• Creating print and marketing materials

• Digital advertising and social media assets

• Presentation and document design

• Adapting existing creative across different formats

• Working within established brand guidelines

• Helping with website and digital design

• Image sourcing, retouching and basic image editing

• General production and design support

You won't necessarily be doing the glamorous bits all the time! A good eye for detail, tidy file setup and the ability to turn a supplied design direction into polished final artwork are just as important.

I'm looking for someone who is:

• A junior graphic designer with around 1–3 years of commercial experience (freelance, agency or in-house). If you have less experience than this, don’t worry. I’d still be interested to hear from you.

• Relevant HNC/HND or BDes/BA qualifications

• Confident using Adobe Creative Cloud, particularly InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop

• Comfortable working across both print and digital design

• Able to follow an existing brand guidelines

• Confident taking a brief and working independently

• Organised, reliable and good at managing deadlines

• A strong communicator who isn't afraid to ask questions when something isn't clear

• Comfortable receiving feedback and making amends efficiently

• Interested in working across a variety of industries and design challenges

Experience with Figma, Squarespace, or illustration skills would be a bonus, but isn't essential.

Most importantly, I'm looking for someone who is enthusiastic, organised, matches my work ethic, takes pride in their work and is keen to learn and develop.

This is a freelance subcontracting arrangement, rather than an employed position.

You'll need to have:

• Your own laptop/computer and suitable equipment

• Your own Adobe Creative Cloud subscription

• Your own reliable internet connection

• Self-employed/freelance status and responsibility for your own tax liability and National Insurance

• Availability to work remotely and meet agreed deadlines

Projects will be briefed on an individual basis, with the scope, estimated hours and deadline agreed before work begins wherever possible.

You'll be responsible for managing your own workload and availability, although I'll always try to give as much notice as possible when work is coming up.

There is no obligation for either of us to offer or accept work, and there is no guaranteed minimum number of hours.

There are a few important things to know — such as client confidentiality and management. If you would like to read more about this, you can view my Freelance Designer/Sub-Contractor Agreement here.
