There is no greater mission than keeping London safe – and our people are how we achieve it.
The Metropolitan Police Service is transforming how it communicates, creating a more innovative, engaging and effective approach to reaching both its workforce and the public. As part of our award-winning Design Studio, the Junior Graphic Designer will play an important role in bringing this ambition to life.
Working across a diverse portfolio of internal and external campaigns, you will create high-quality visual content that brings the Met’s priorities, services and stories to life. Through compelling design, you will translate complex information into clear, engaging and accessible communications that inform, inspire and drive action. Your work will help officers and staff understand organisational priorities, feel connected to the Met’s purpose and take pride in the role they play in policing London. At the same time, you will help Londoners better understand the work of the Met, supporting transparency, trust and confidence in policing.
You will deliver creative assets across a range of channels and formats, including digital and print publications, infographics, posters, leaflets, animations, social media content, exhibition materials and brand assets. Working closely with colleagues across Communications and Engagement, HR, operational policing teams and corporate functions, you will help ensure communications are visually compelling, audience-focused and aligned to the Met’s brand standards.
This is an exciting opportunity for a talented and enthusiastic designer who is creative, adaptable and comfortable working at pace in a complex environment. You will be curious, proactive and able to build on initial briefs to develop innovative visual solutions that support some of the Met’s most important organisational priorities, operational communications and public-facing campaigns.
