Junior UX Designer job vacany

part time, perm (working 30hrs/week), Creative Blend – Brighton

We’re looking for people who are positive, proactive, personable, organised and have can-do attitude. The Junior UX Designer role will be critical in the shaping of user experiences.

This role is ideal for someone with around 2+ years of experience or an excellent design graduate with commercial experience – who wants to deepen their UX expertise while continuing to develop strong UI design skills.

You’ll work closely with designers, developers, project managers and stakeholders to create thoughtful, user-centred digital experiences. While the role has a strong UI focus, we’re particularly interested in someone who is curious, proactive, and keen to build their UX capability – especially in data-informed design.

This role requires a blend of creativity, problem solving, and technical skills to create user-centred designs that align with business goals. The ideal candidate will have a solid foundation in UX principles, a keen eye for detail, and the ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment. As with any good design role, the day-to-day will allow plenty of opportunity of problem solving and pro-active solution creation.
