<div><strong>Reports to:</strong> Head of Design</div>
<div><strong>Department: </strong>Brand<br><br>- Please make sure you include a portofolio with your application -&nbsp;</div>

<div><strong>The School of Life</strong></div>
<div><br>We are a passionate group of people on a mission to bring about healing, growth, calm and self-understanding. &nbsp;We derive our ideas from psychology, psychotherapy, philosophy, art and culture. As our name, The School of Life, suggests, we are here to teach people how life can be lived and what can make it truly worthwhile, effective and fulfilling. &nbsp;We do this via our articles, books, app, films, therapeutic services and corporate offering.</div>
<div><br><strong>About the role and opportunity</strong></div>
<div><br>
<div>We're looking for a graphic designer to join our small in-house studio for three months, through the busiest stretch of our year. Between peak season, a new shop opening, new product launches, and a steady flow of work for The School of Life At Work, we have a lot coming up.<br>We need someone who can pick things up and run with them, taking ownership while working in a collaborative way.</div>
<div><br>This is a hands-on role with real responsibility. Your time will be split between concepting, developing and iterating designs, and the repetitive artworking and production that keeps an in-house studio moving. You'll work closely with our Head of Design and our designer, inside a visual language that is deliberately minimal: a limited colour palette, careful typography, and a lot of attention to small details. It suits someone who enjoys making restraint look easy.</div>
</div>
<div><br><strong>The Set up</strong></div>
<div><br>A 3 month freelance contract, around 3 days a week on average. We have some flexibility to work more days during the busiest weeks and fewer later on, and we're happy to talk this through.
