• Do you have a heart for helping Christians facing persecution?

• Would you like to use your design skills to help bridge the gap between the UK church and the persecuted church?

Open Doors is a Christian charity that is looking to recruit active, practicing Christians to stand in the GAP (give, act, pray) on behalf of persecuted Christians worldwide. Every day, millions of Christians risk their lives to follow Jesus. In more than 70 countries, Open Doors supports them by supplying Bibles, providing emergency relief and helping persecuted believers stand strong for the long-term.

We’re looking for an enthusiastic and talented Christian* Junior Graphic Designer to join our in-house Communications Team to create visually inspiring print and digital materials that will engage supporters with the message and values of the persecuted church.

You will have a creative mind and a ‘can do’ attitude. Working alongside the Graphic Designer and Creative Head, you will deliver fresh and innovative design that brings authenticity and reality to the subject of Christian persecution.

You will have knowledge and experience of digital and print design and the ability to work under pressure to meet exacting deadlines. As part of a vibrant Communications Team, you will work within the Open Doors brand guidelines to deliver high quality resources, working with internal clients to interpret their briefs into design materials that will capture hearts and minds.

You must have an excellent working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite and be competent in the use of Microsoft Office suite.

You will discover that we work here because we are passionate about the mission of Open Doors. This role will provide you with the opportunity to use your God-given character and talents to contribute to the work of Open Doors, and to be part of a team that seeks to grow the charity, to support and encourage one another, and uphold the Christian values that we base our identity on.
