Graphic Designer

Northampton (NN3)

12-month FTC
Full-time | 34 hours/week | Hybrid after probation

Reporting to: Associate Director, Marketing and Communications

£30,000

You're a designer. Not a decorator.

This role is ideal if you are fresh out of education and looking to gain 12 months experience to add to your portfolio.

You understand how visuals drive engagement, shape perception, and tell a story - and you're itching to do more than just churn out templates.

You'll help reimagine how we show up across digital, print, and social - and you'll have the freedom to push the brand forward, not just maintain it.

What You'll Be Creating

• Rebranding assets - fresh eyes, fresh visuals, proper consistency
• Campaign design - across web, email, social, print, and video
• Visual storytelling - turn survey data into graphics people actually want to read
• Training materials - branded templates, e-learning visuals, presentations
• Social content - work with the comms team to amplify reach on LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube
• Product launches - help bring new services to life visually
• Internal docs - yes, even the boring stuff like policies and forms - but done well

What You'll Need

• A portfolio that shows you get branding, layout, and campaign design
• Adobe Creative Suite mastery - InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro
• Bonus: video editing chops for content marketing
• A sharp eye for detail and a brain that thinks in grids, colour palettes, and hierarchy
• Ability to juggle multiple projects without dropping the ball

What You'll Get

• A role where your creativity actually matters
• A team that values quality over quantity - no mass-marketing fluff
• The chance to shape how CABE looks, feels, and connects with its audience
• Real variety - from campaign work to publication design to digital content

Please note, due to the high volumes of applications we receive daily, should you not be contacted within 72 hours, your application is unsuccessful. Thank you.

• Location : This role is available in our Global Headquarters in Cambridge , as well as our London , Manchester , and Bristol offices

As a Graphic Designer in our Creative team , you will be at the forefront of delivering diverse and intricate creative projects for both the company and our clients in the healthcare sector. Projects include brand development, the design and layout of infographics, as well as the creation of event materials. Depending on your skill set, you may also contribute to motion and digital projects, such as the design of interactive materials for exhibitions, video editing, animations, and the creation of eLearning modules.

You will be involved in every stage of the project lifecycle, from initial concept development to full production, allowing for real autonomy and creativity. This involves early-stage collaboration with other designers, project managers, and clients to define the project scope and objectives. You will then produce high-quality design materials, providing technical insight and offering guidance as needed.

At Costello Medical, our Creative team is passionate about data visualisation and enhancing the communication of scientific content. We are also committed to supporting projects where we believe our skills can make a meaningful difference to healthcare. Therefore, you will have the opportunity to support not only commercial projects, but also pro bono work for charities and the public sector. Further examples of our work can be found in our Creative portfolio:

Key responsibilities will include:

• Developing Engaging Content:  Creating a variety of visually appealing materials, including infographics, posters, event materials, and other design pieces for both internal teams and external clients
• Strong Collaboration : Working closely with creative colleagues and project managers at the outset of projects to determine the design scope, purpose, and strategic approach to be taken
• Effective Communication : Clearly communicating project requirements to project teams and providing input on any technical queries
• Quality and Delivery : Ensuring all projects are completed on time and within budget while maintaining the highest standards of quality
• Exceptional Service:  Providing outstanding customer service, building strong partnerships with internal teams and external clients

Hybrid Working Policy: We believe that having face-to-face time in the office holds many benefits and is central to ensuring that the community we have created, where people have a workplace they belong to and feel part of, is never lost. At the same time, we recognise that homeworking can improve work life balance, reduce commuting times and costs, and provide the opportunity to juggle personal commitments.

Therefore, we offer flexible working arrangements that allow our colleagues who have passed probation to work from home up to half their time, measured across a 2-week rolling period. During your probationary period (normally the first 6 months of the role), you will be able to work from home 1 day per week.

Home to the world's best loved and trusted hygiene, health, and nutrition brands. Our purpose defines why we exist: to protect, heal and nurture in the relentless pursuit of a cleaner, healthier world. We are a global team united by this purpose.

Join us in our fight to make access to the highest quality hygiene, wellness, and nourishment a right and not a privilege.

Corporate Communications & External Affairs

Our communications and external affairs team are at the very heart of Reckitt's brand, purpose and products, bringing them to life around the globe for our employees, consumers, investors, governments and our suppliers.

It's a rewarding task, growing and protecting Reckitt's image and brand. Every day, we design public relations and communication strategies that build awareness, trust and relationships, while steering us away from reputational risk. We do this by gathering and maintaining knowledge of our policies, principles, and business strategies, while keeping up-to-date with relevant developments right across our business units and trusted brands. 

From digital, media and events to employee experience, strategic relationships, and community partners, we identify opportunities to deliver on our business and sustainability agenda, while proactively identifying storylines and opportunities to advance our narrative.

About the role

We’re looking for a digitally fluent communicator to join our Corporate Communications & External Affairs team as an External Channels Senior Associate. This is a hands-on, individual contributor role focused on managing Reckitt’s owned digital channels, specifically our corporate website and social media platforms, to ensure our external messaging reflects our purpose, values, and reputation.

This is not a marketing role. It’s not about driving product sales or paid campaigns. It’s about corporate reputation, shaping how Reckitt and our senior executives show up to the world, particularly to investors, regulators, media, and other external stakeholders. You’ll be responsible for delivering high-quality, consistent, and purposeful content that supports our global narrative, enhances executive visibility, and protects our reputation.

You’ll play a key role in ensuring our digital presence is aligned, strategic, and responsive. That includes understanding how users navigate our corporate website, tailoring messaging for different social platforms, and crafting sharp, effective copy that reflects our values. You’ll also support issue and crisis response through digital channels, helping to guide how we react and communicate when reputational risks arise.

We’re looking for someone who has strong experience managing corporate social media and website content, understands the nuances of messaging across different platforms, can write sharp, clear, and purposeful copy for external audiences, has worked in a global, matrixed organisation and can operate at pace, and can hit the ground running as we don’t have time to train.

If you’re passionate about digital communications, reputation management, and purposeful storytelling, and you know how to make a corporate brand and its leaders show up with clarity and integrity, we’d love to hear from you.

Your responsibilities

You’ll play a key role in delivering our digital communications strategy. Responsibilities include:

• Managing day-to-day content and updates across our corporate website and social media channels
• Supporting the development and execution of global digital communications plans
• Collaborating with internal teams to ensure consistent messaging and branding
• Monitoring performance and using analytics to inform content decisions
• Identifying opportunities to enhance digital engagement and reach
• Supporting communications campaigns and initiatives across the business
• Advising on digital best practices and trends
• Contributing to issue and crisis response through digital channels
• Helping develop training and guidance for colleagues on digital communications
• Working with external partners where needed to deliver high-quality content

The experience we're looking for

We’re open to a range of backgrounds, but here’s what will help you thrive in this role:

• Proven experience managing corporate websites and social media platforms
• Strong writing and editing skills, with a focus on digital content
• Familiarity with digital analytics tools and performance metrics
• Understanding of SEO, SEM, and digital best practices
• Experience working in a global or matrixed organisation
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and projects simultaneously
• Collaborative mindset and strong stakeholder engagement skills
• Passion for digital communications and staying ahead of trends
• Degree or equivalent experience in communications, marketing, or a related field

If you're excited by the idea of shaping how a global brand communicates with the world, we’d love to hear from you.
