Volunteer Graphic Designer Spaniel Rescue

Spaniel Rescue Foundation is a registered charity with a big heart and a clear mission: to rescue and rehome spaniels in crisis while empowering owners with the knowledge to keep their dogs safe and happy. We give abandoned and surrendered spaniels – across England, Wales and Scotland – a second chance at life and love. We believe that every dog deserves tailored care, not one-size-fits-all fixes.

That’s why we collaborate with owners, foster families and potential adopters to create safe, smooth transitions for dogs in need.

As a volunteer-led charity, we rely on the time, skills and commitment of people who want to make a difference to spaniels. Our communications are key to helping us find more fosterers, adopters and donors – who make our work possible.

Reporting to the Head of Communications & Marketing (Design), you’ll create graphics for social media, web and print to showcase the work we do. Over 2-6 hours per week, you’ll collaborate with copywriters and other designers, contributing creative ideas for how we can tell our story visually. With experience in graphic design and a good eye for layout and imagery, you’ll help us stop the scroll and increase our following across social platforms, a key aim for the Communications & Marketing team.

As well as a love of dogs and great attitude, you’ll bring excellent communication and time management skills – confident you can dedicate the required hours and deliver agreed work to meet deadlines. We’re a small and friendly bunch, who love fresh ideas and enthusiasm, and are always happy to support your continued development.
