They would also be responsible for checking the final write-up of this project for accuracy, cross-checking reporting with the dataset. This a short-term position but due to the tight deadline of the project, additional hours may be available for suitable candidates. 

Interested candidates should apply by sending a C.V and brief covering letter/personal statement.

-Experience of working within a university/higher education institution is desireable. 

If you are an experienced and well-qualified graphic designer, this position offers an exciting opportunity to play a key role supporting the Healthier Working Lives Impact Project - Care Stories. We are keen to explore innovative, creative ways to share research findings with a diverse audience of care workers and care business owners, as well as relevant organisations and stakeholders.

You’ll need to provide feedback to the research team and potential users about your design process and outputs, and contribute to informal formative assessments. As well as generating appropriate materials, you’ll also be required to liaise with suppliers and the wider communication team for the project. We are looking for someone who can engage the above audiences and think creatively ‘outside the box’ how we can present our findings.
