Junior Design Apprentice

Junior Design Apprentice

We're recruiting for a Junior Design Apprentice role in a busy creative studio, supporting designers with artwork updates, print/digital asset prep, file management and production admin.

About the role

Glendale Creative is a multi-disciplined creative studio with 20+ years’ experience delivering high-quality design and advertising work for global clients across print, digital and physical spaces.

We’re looking for a Junior Design Apprentice to join the studio and support the design team with day-to-day artwork updates and studio workflow. This is an entry-level opportunity for someone who wants to learn how a creative studio runs, build confidence using design tools, and develop strong habits around briefs, feedback and deadlines.

You will support with:

• Updating existing artwork/design files using clear briefs and guidance
• Helping prepare artwork and assets for print-ready and digital-ready use (exports, formats, specs)
• Supporting print/merchandise production tasks (liaising with suppliers, tracking progress)
• Researching creative references and suppliers to support briefs
• Keeping file structures tidy with good naming, version control and easy handover
• Supporting quality checks so assets are supplied correctly
• Job-linked admin such as organising couriers, tracking deliveries, and updating the Glendale PMS
• Learning how to plan and prioritise tasks to meet deadlines in a commercial studio

As confidence grows, there may be opportunities to support client event delivery (checklists/logistics) and further develop Adobe skills across layout, typography and image editing.

Home Farm 3 Riverside, Eynsford Dartford DA4 0AE
