This is a fantastic opportunity to join the marketing and communications team at King’s during a transformative and exciting time in the school’s history. With the development of our new junior school campus and the extension of co-educational provision across the whole school over the next decade, the way in which we visually represent ourselves – our successes, our mission and ethos – will be important.

We are seeking a creative and detail-oriented graphic designer to help shape and deliver the visual identity of King’s across print and digital platforms. From prospectuses and merchandise, signage and event branding, your work will capture the spirit of school life and reflect the warmth, vibrancy, and excellence of our community.

This is a hands-on design role, ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys working across a wide variety of projects. You will be part of a collaborative team, translating briefs into compelling visuals and supporting the delivery of our strategic communications objectives.

Reporting to the senior marketing manager, you will work closely with colleagues across the marketing and communications team, namely the communications manager, digital marketing officer and director of communications, admissions and marketing. You will also support colleagues across the schools.

This is a full-time role working 40 hours per week on site during term-time, with the option of working from home during school holidays with bursar’s approval

• Be part of a respected global brand renowned worldwide for its academic excellence, culture of kindness and the warmth and vibrance of its community.
• Play a key role in developing and delivering our visual brand at a pivotal moment in the school’s journey.
• Enjoy a dynamic and varied workload — from arts festivals and concerts to fundraising campaigns and major school events.
• Benefit from professional development opportunities and a supportive team culture.

Skills and person specification:

• A relevant qualification in graphic design or a related field (degree-level or equivalent).
• A good understanding of design principles, typography, pantones, layout, and visual storytelling.

• A warm, collaborative approach and strong communication skills.
• Ability to manage time effectively, meet deadlines, and adapt to changing priorities.
• A proactive attitude and willingness to learn and grow within the role.
