Hours
Full-time: 37.5 hours per week
We are also happy to consider part-time applicants, with hours and working pattern to be agreed. Depending on the candidates available, we may appoint two part-time designers rather than one full-time designer.
The role offers considerable home-working flexibility, with attendance at our Gloucestershire office required approximately two to three days per month during key production periods.

£30,000 per annum for the full-time role
For part-time appointments, salary will be calculated pro rata based on £30,000 full-time equivalent.
