Job Summary

We are looking for a creative and motivated early-career professional with a strong eye for visual design and an interest in digital storytelling.

Job Description

You could be designing graphics for a campaign, creating a short video from a live event, preparing a social media post or helping share the story behind a new artistic project. You will develop your skills and portfolio through varied, real-world creative work, with guidance and feedback from colleagues.

As part of a small, collaborative team, you will also be happy to roll up your sleeves and lend a hand with projects and events when needed, whether helping prepare a space, supporting an event or getting involved in the practical side of SCA's work. Your main focus, however, will remain design, social media and digital

You will be line-managed by the Senior Producer, who will coordinate your day-to-day priorities, workload and professional development. You will also work closely with SCA's Founder & Artistic Director, who provides the overall creative direction and visual standards for the organisation.

SCA will be developing a Brand & Content Playbook to translate this creative vision into clear guidelines, templates and ways of working.
