For the kind of work we typically do, see https://uclpartners.com/ which we built from scratch; although some of our projects are at smaller scale, the site is a fair reflection of the level of complexity / subject matter we work with as a healthcare agency.

You will be working with the Digital Director, Account Director, design team and the development team. We are a tightly-knit group and encourage ideas and collaboration across departments.

You'll need to have a portfolio of work that showcases your skills and interests in design. Please make it easy for us to access this portfolio within your application.

If this sounds like your kind of thing, then you're probably our kind of person. And if you’ve read this far down the ad we invite you to put ‘THOROUGH’ in capitals somewhere in your application letter (first word is fine!)

TO APPLY

Please apply via email to our digital lead James Nash (jamesn@gig.health) with;

• Portfolio
• A cover letter explaining who you are
• A CV

Please note that we will not be reviewing applications on LinkedIn directly or if you are missing any of the above three elements.

If you want your application to stand out, write it yourself and in your own style. We don't need perfect syntax, but we do need a creative human soul.

Successful applicants will be invited to a 1-hour interview at our Central London offices. At this interview we can show you some of our work, find out more about one another, and take it from there. Candidates invited for second interview will be invited to take a design exercise remotely.

We look forward to hearing from you.
