Graphic Design Assistant

Please only apply if you are going to be a student for the academic year commencing September 2026. You will only be able to hold one part-time staff role during the academic year so please do not apply for multiple roles. If we feel when you are interviewing/assessing, you will be suitable for another role we will flag this.

This role is perfect for students looking to gain experience as a graphic designer and build portfolio.
