Graduate Designer - Print

Job Description

Working Pattern:
Typically 5 days in the office, with core hours flexible between 8am-6pm.

Our Designers here at Next are always looking forward. Looking for that Next thing, focusing on trend and pushing the boundaries of what we can offer our fantastic customer base. Working as a key part of the critical path; creating new and innovative designs across Home.

Join our dynamic Textiles Accessories team, where creativity knows no bounds! As part of this exciting department, you'll play a key role in designing and developing stunning patterns for a wide range of home products, from textiles and hard goods to kids' items, beauty, and gifting. You'll be at the heart of the process, taking ideas from initial trend inspiration to the creation of original artworks, including all-over prints and character design.

This is your chance to contribute to a team that shapes the look and feel of beloved products across multiple categories!

Looking for an exciting opportunity to immerse yourself in the creative world of textile design? In this role, you'll be involved in every step of the design process, from trend research and generating stunning artworks to recolouring vintage pieces and briefing artwork to factories. If you're passionate about print, this is your chance to shine, as you'll be working hands‑on with original hand paintings and drawings, bringing them to life through Photoshop to create truly unique patterns.

You’ll also play a key role in supporting the Design Team, handling essential tasks like managing department requests, colour matching, archiving fabrics, and logging samples.

Are you passionate about creating original artworks through drawing and painting, with exceptional hand drawing skills that can bring your ideas to life? Do you have the ability to adapt your unique style to suit a variety of customer types? If you're skilled in Photoshop and thrive in collaborative environments, this role offers the perfect chance to showcase your strong communication skills and build productive relationships across teams.

We're looking for someone who is highly self‑motivated, with a strong interest in fashion and home design, and a keen awareness of current trends. If you're confident in presenting your ideas and excited about making an impact, this could be the perfect opportunity for you!
