Dementia UK is the specialist dementia nursing charity that is there for the whole family.

Every day, Admiral Nurses help families up and down the country to have the best life possible, for as long as possible.

Day to day, you’ll collaborate closely with the Editorial Manager to review and update our suite of information leaflets. Working on a wide range of projects across the charity, you will collaborate with teams such as Fundraising, Clinical, Campaigns, and Business Development. Additionally, you’ll provide feedback on designs developed by agencies and external suppliers, ensuring they align with our visual identity, in conjunction with the Senior Creative Manager.

As a champion of the Dementia UK brand, you’ll maintain brand consistency across design projects, support brand and design approvals, and monitor the brand inbox.

To succeed in this role, you will have solid experience working in design within an in-house team or agency, in a multi-disciplinary graphic design role. Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite/Cloud, along with strong design knowledge, is essential. You should be well-organised, capable of managing your own workload, and able to work with your line manager to assess capacity. Additionally, you will have experience championing and adhering to brand guidelines, as well as incorporating accessibility principles into your designs.

If this sounds like you, join us now and be part of a team dedicated to making a real difference in the lives of those affected by dementia.
