Junior Designer

Our client is a highly respected design agency specialising in educational and ELT publishing, known for producing exceptional print and digital resources for global markets. They are now seeking a Junior Designer to join their growing team. This role is office based five days a week during probation, with the opportunity for hybrid working in future.

• £28,000 salary depending on experience
• Rural Bedfordshire location (car essential unless local)
• Holiday: 20 days + bank holidays, increasing by 1 day per year to a maximum of 25 days + bank holidays
• 37.5 hour week
• Other benefits available on application including private medical insurance, profit related discretionary bonus and flexible Fridays

You’ll bring solid skills in the Adobe Creative Suite, especially InDesign and a genuine enthusiasm for learning the technical foundations of publishing design. This role is ideal for someone early in their career who enjoys problem solving, consistency, and precision just as much as creativity. You may come from another agency, an in house design team, or a recent internship, but you’ll be eager to grow, take feedback, and develop both technically and creatively.

You’ll thrive in a fast paced environment, be adaptable to shifting client needs, and take pride in delivering high quality work to deadline.

As a Junior Designer, you’ll work closely with Senior Designers and a Design Manager to produce high quality educational materials. A significant part of the role involves technical layout work, including:

• Taking Word manuscripts and laying them out across multi‑page documents using In Design
• Applying template styles, typographic rules and formatting consistently
• Ensuring new components align visually with existing products in a series
• Making proof corrections and preparing files for production

Once the technical layout is complete, you’ll also have opportunities to contribute creatively, refining designs, suggesting improvements, and supporting work on covers, marketing materials, digital assets and course components.

This agency values curiosity, reliability, and a willingness to learn. They can teach the technical processes; what they’re looking for is someone with a creative eye, strong fundamentals, and a problem solving mindset.

If you’re excited to build a long term design career in a supportive, high quality environment, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now and attach your CV.
