We’re looking for a Graphic Designer to produce engaging visual content that supports the Trust’s communications, grows our audiences and helps inspire more people to take action for wildlife. Working within The Design Hide, our in‑house creative studio, you will bring the Essex Wildlife Trust brand to life across print, digital and environmental design.

The postholder will work closely with the Senior Graphic Designer, contributing ideas, providing creative solutions and championing design best practice. You’ll also support colleagues by offering guidance on branding, photography, video basics and visual communication, helping to promote high‑quality content across the Trust. You will also offer guidance to colleagues outside of the Communications team on Canva.
It is essential that the postholder has demonstrable experience as outlined in the Person Specification within this job pack.
