Designer Job - London - Details Within

[The Hoff]

As above, the company I work for is looking for a designer to rebrand stationary and design all manner of magazines and brochures with scope for more.

Thought I'd spam it on here as I know there's a decent 'IT Crowd', I'll state that the salary is nominal to begin - 25k but there is a bracket to increase that given experience for the right candidate.

Any interest can be directed at myself, on here or to my business email j.osborne@bda.org subject - JOB

The location is W1G8YS (Oxford Circus), starting immediately and working for the British Dental Association (Great benefits, and 29 days holiday).

Cheers, James.

P.S Enclose an email address and I can forward the application/spec.

Cheers folks, it's an excellent company all the usual Bupa/HSA malarky and a very relaxed but professional environment, based about 250m from Oxford Street too

There's Mac and PC available for design, any there's a huge budget for getting someone a nice new Macbook Pro.

Anyway, just a heads up for anybody looking to break into the market/move jobs.

Just imagine the amount of pootang you get to see going in/out of the office, surely that's a huge incentive.
