The Royal Academy of Arts is looking for a highly-creative Junior Designer with previous experience, to support the Royal Academy’s internal Design Team in creating compelling, on-brand campaigns across digital and print.
As the Junior Designer, you will be responsible for helping to drive the delivery of campaigns and the development of the RA brand, as well as helping the team produce work to the highest possible standard.
About You
To be considered for this role, you will have previous design experience as well as an excellent understanding of and interest in design and production, with the ability to interpret design briefs creatively and within brand guidelines.
Well organised, hard-working and self-motivated, you will have a passion for design and production, and be ready to develop your existing skills by working with senior designers on a range of ambitious projects.
The Company
The RA dates way back to 1768 when a group of artists and architects persuaded King George lll to help them to ‘establish a society for promoting the Art of Design’. The original academy, in Pall Mall, was less than 10 meters long. Since then, there have been many changes, though the RA’s core purpose of bringing art and design to a broad audience and championing art and artists still holds true.
Today we are a contemporary art organisation hosting internationally acclaimed exhibitions and through investment in employee training and development, with courses such as Unconscious Bias, LGBTQ+ Awareness, Bystander, and Mental Health First Aid training, we are striving to foster a safe space for everyone through positive action. We also have Employee Network Groups, Ways In Groups, and an Employee Council so every employee has a voice and a way to feel heard by colleagues through the CEO.
The RA is truly a unique place, both as an attraction to our visitors, but also as a workplace. Our people are at the heart of all we do, and we support a broad and inspiring mix of departments; from exhibitions, curators, art handlers, researchers, publishers, and digital to schools and education, visitor welcome, fundraisers, and corporate support.
