Creative Officer
Full-time starting salary: £25,000pa
Working with World Land Trust
WLT is based in the UK and is unique within the conservation world. Reaching its 35th year of operation, the Trust has grown from small beginnings saving critically threatened forest in Belize, to becoming an internationally respected conservation organisation with a proven track record, working with more than 52 overseas conservation NGOs on protection of threatened habitats. WLT has developed its modus operandi without losing its vision, integrity and transparency.
Who we’re looking for
Sadly, we’re saying goodbye to our current Creative Officer who is leaving us to travel overseas but that means there’s an opportunity for an equally talented individual to step into their shoes!
Our Creative Officer has a key role in WLT’s Communications Team, developing creative concepts for various projects across multiple platforms to inspire and engage supporters. Working alongside our Copywriters and Marketing team, the Creative Officer will produce inspiring artworks for digital and print projects, which are vibrant, creative and impactful.
If you’re creative, have a qualification in graphic design or illustration, relevant work experience and excellent knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite, we’d love to hear from you. This role requires someone full of original ideas who has a collaborative approach but also the ability to work independently, meet tight deadlines, and work on multiple projects simultaneously. As a conservation fundraising charity, we feel that an empathy and understanding of our mission and Values is important too.
We build flexibility into the way we work from day one, encouraging early conversations around options for hybrid working to enable remote connection and collaboration alongside some face-to-face working, and our 9-day fortnight working pattern is popular, supporting our staff to maintain a health work- life balance.
We recognise the benefits of a diverse workforce, bringing new perspectives and different experiences into the workplace. Our aim is to be an inclusive employer, providing a welcoming and supportive environment for all staff, where staff can be the best they can be. We recognise that we are underrepresented in some groups, so welcome and encourage applications from minority ethnicities, those with disabilities, and all gender identities. What’s important to us in this process is your skills, knowledge and experience to enable you to do the job and that is where our focus will be to find our next new team member!
