We’d expect you to have relevant experience of artwork creation and manipulation to a high standard with the ability to understand and execute creative direction and instructions.

This role isn’t just looking at text, it’s more about the artworker. It’s not a Quality Control role either as you need the ability to interpret a brief.

About you:

Due to the nature of the role previous experience of proof-reading is needed We’d need you to be a good communicator as you’ll be feeding back any errors you’ve found, if they’re from more junior staff then we’d except you to support their development with coaching/training to help them succeed.
