Senior Graphic Designer

CAP celebrates the value of diversity and our aim is for our workforce to be as inclusive as possible as well as representing the communities we serve. With this in mind, we welcome and encourage job applications from people of all backgrounds. We particularly welcome applications from candidates from black and ethnic minority backgrounds. We are committed to continue building an environment that embraces diversity and includes all.

Context

As the Brand Strategy team, we’re the owners, creators and developers of CAP’s brand – that means being totally tuned in to what we look and sound like. We spend our days weaving together compelling visual and written content that engages, inspires and motivates our many audiences. We resource, advise and empower the charity to ensure we’re presenting a public face that consistently promotes CAP’s mission.

The Brand Strategy team is part of Communications & Digital Engagement, which sits in the Fundraising and Marketing section of the charity.

Passion

We understand the power of a brand and the elements that combine to create it.
