Description
Role Summary
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 skillset, 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.

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.

- Benefits: Discretionary profit share bonuses paid twice per year, hybrid and flexible working options, generous holiday allowance, private medical insurance, critical illness cover, income protection, full funding for external training, and more
- Role Type: Full-time, permanent
- Start Date: This role will ideally commence in April or May 2026, and you will be asked to state your availability on your application form
