Junior Digital Designer

Diversity matters

We are building a brand that represents the people of the world. It’s what you do that counts, and we are always looking to expand perspectives and voices to shape our future.

We see you, we celebrate you, we want you!

Who we are

You might know us as the inventors of the bath bomb, but there’s more to this great-smelling, partly employee-owned, family-run company than pioneering cosmetics. We believe our business should put more back into the world than it takes and demonstrate that capitalism can be a force for good. We put our people first and fight cruel practices like animal testing, promote regeneration, and show that it is what’s inside that counts - whether that’s an ingredient in a product, or the minerals in a smartphone.

The role/team

• Communicate with key areas of the business, guaranteeing the delivery of a great design service.

• Previous experience in HTML, CSS, and animation.
• Work alongside the Senior Digital Design Team, the broader Design team, the Marketing team and the Web team to help create effective unified campaigns across all mediums
• Ad hoc support with Designing emails in line with website style for mobile and desktop view including helping with testing emails and web content where necessary
