About the Role
This internship is ideal for design students or recent graduates who would like to gain insight into an agency or commercial environment, as well as those looking to kickstart a career in design.
In this role, you will support a wide range of digital projects, including the creation of interactive content for conferences and events, digital marketing materials such as HTML emails, web banners and social media graphics, and the design, maintenance and testing of new and existing websites and web applications. We are seeking talented individuals with a strong understanding of aesthetics and meticulous attention to detail.
Collaborating with experienced members of our Creative team, you will receive comprehensive training and gain hands‑on design experience in the healthcare sector.
Hybrid Working Policy
We believe that face‑to‑face time in the office holds many benefits and is central to ensuring the community we have created, where people have a workplace they belong to and feel part of, is never lost. At the same time, we recognise that homeworking can improve work‑life balance, reduce commuting times and costs, and provide the opportunity to juggle personal commitments.
Given the wealth of training, mentorship and development opportunities that are available as part of our internship programmes, time spent in the office is even more crucial. Therefore, our interns can work from home one day per week.
Career Prospects After the Internship
As a Digital Design Intern in the Creative team, you will have the option to select an internship length of either 3 or 6 months, enabling you to develop your skills and potentially gain experience working on multiple project types. There may also be the opportunity for strong interns to apply for the Digital Designer role and join the team permanently, depending on business need.
