Twinkl is here to "help those who teach." It's what brings us to work every day. We're proud to create educational resources that can be used at each step of a child's learning journey. Our award-winning resource collection - created by teachers for teachers - provides unlimited supplementary digital and printable teaching resources at an unbeatable value. We have over a million editable resources, and new content is added every day. Don't see what you need? Just ask! We make bespoke resources for our members as part of our world-class customer service promise to help those who teach. We support educators and children around the world, and we’re committed to transforming lives through education. Whoever you are, whatever you teach, Twinkl is here for you! The Role As a Graphic Designer at Twinkl, you’ll join a small production team made up of Teacher Content Writers, Teacher Content Editors, Illustrators and Graphic Designers to produce a wide variety of beautiful learning materials that will be downloaded, printed, and utilised for learning in education settings around the world. Upon joining, you’ll undergo 3 weeks of foundation training learning about our brand guidelines, design templates, software and working methods, giving you the tools needed to be a fantastic, efficient and effective designer of educational materials. Once training is completed, you’ll utilise programs such as InDesign, PowerPoint and Word to work through a steady stream of editorial and layout design work, collaborating with the qualified teachers who write and check the content for our resources before they’re uploaded to our website. Within Country/Product teams we create different types of resources covering all areas of the curriculum and across a wide age range every week. The resource types and age range you will be working on will depend on the team you join. As such, you should be passionate about education and excited to contribute to a market-leading business that helps teachers spend more time with children and less time doing the admin that surrounds it. A Little About The Culture Within Design This position is a 12-month contract for 37.5 hours per week of work. As a self-employed position, it comes with lots of flexibility in how you manage your schedule, but unlike many other freelance roles you’ll be welcomed into and feel very much a part of a focused team that meets regularly via video call, collaborates together and works closely as its own production unit. This is a great environment for anyone looking for a close knit, communicative and friendly work environment, but less well suited to those who would prefer the total flexibility and independence that shorter term, project based freelance positions offer. As a designer at Twinkl, you’ll also benefit from being part of a global community of 200+ Graphic Designers across different levels of experience, backgrounds and specialisms. The team regularly shares and celebrates the excellent work that they produce with each other, as well as running forums to share knowledge, tips and tricks to keep your design practice as sharp as possible. Applying If you are interested in becoming part of the amazing Twinkl design team, send us your CV and portfolio of your best editorial and layout design work (think magazines, booklets, posters and anything that involves heavy text) and we may be in contact to discuss adding you to our Graphic design pool. When suitable roles become available, we’ll get in touch regarding the next steps of the recruitment process. Being in the pool does not prevent you from applying for other Twinkl roles, so please keep a lookout on our careers page too. How You’ll Spend Your Day Your morning may start with a short video call with the rest of your production team. This meeting gives everyone a chance to update on what you’re working on, highlight any blockers and review priorities. It’s also a chance to have a chat with your colleagues and set you up for the day ahead! Day to day, you’ll use InDesign, PowerPoint and Word to work on creating the highest priority resources in your team's production backlog. This work lives in a project management system called “Jira”, which you’ll receive full training on when you join. You may also have a regular catch up with your line manager to check in on how you’re feeling and the work you’re involved in. Or a CPD (continuous professional development) session organised by the training team. There’s always lots to get involved in if you’re interested in growth within the business.
