Mid-Weight Creative Designer

The British Heart Foundation (BHF) has funded research into heart and circulatory diseases for six decades, with a mission to help people have healthier hearts for longer. Its Creative and Production Team is looking for a Mid-Weight Creative Designer to join on a 12-month fixed-term contract covering family leave, starting as soon as possible.

You'll create campaign and brand work across digital, social, video and print – turning briefs into audience-focused creative alongside copywriters, marketers, videographers and fundraising teams. The work ranges from large cross-channel campaigns to smaller tasks such as brand guidance updates and content for new initiatives, all in support of the BHF's life-saving research.

What you'll be doing

• Creating campaign and brand work across digital, social, video and print
• Turning briefs into audience-focused creative that lands with the people it's made for
• Working closely with copywriters, marketers, videographers and fundraising teams
• Balancing large cross-channel campaigns with smaller tasks, such as brand guidance updates and content for new initiatives
• Managing several priorities at once, including high-volume content alongside bigger campaigns, and working with external suppliers

What we're looking for

• Experience delivering creative projects from concept to completion, with some autonomy, in an in-house or agency setting
• A portfolio showing creative thinking, visual craft and ownership of your work, including social, paid digital and organic content
• Expert Adobe Creative Cloud skills – Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign are essential, with strong Premiere Pro and After Effects skills also needed
• Knowledge of creating content for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube, adapted to each platform
• Organised, proactive and collaborative, able to manage multiple priorities and work with external suppliers
• Clear communication of ideas, calm problem-solving and close attention to detail, including grammar and spelling
• Curiosity about design and technical innovation, and a commitment to a thoughtful, professional service

What's on offer

• £35,000 – £37,000 a year plus benefits
• 12-month fixed-term contract covering family leave, 35 hours per week
• Hybrid working – an average of at least one day a week in the London office (the team's office day is currently Wednesday, though this may change, so flexibility is expected)
• A broad benefits package, with details on the BHF's Benefits and Learning and Development pages
• Flexible working can be discussed at application or interview stage
• Interviews held in person at the London office or online via Microsoft Teams
