We’re looking for an experienced Web Designer who is fanatical about creative digital design that delivers the best user experience. Someone that is constantly learning with an unwavering commitment to delivery and getting the results we need.

Why Us? 

Our business has had a reputation as one of Yorkshire’s top employers for 150 years and now we’re building an internal digital agency filled with developers, business analysts and designers to revolutionise the way our 17 businesses operate.

We are building our team for tomorrow, so if you like variety, discussing challenges with knowledgeable individuals and working in an entrepreneurial environment then this is the opportunity for you. 

Who Are You? 

A thoughtful digital designer with at least 5 years’ experience.

Someone with passion, drive and enthusiasm for what they do.  

Someone who thinks about the bigger picture and wants to make a positive impact on the world around them.  

You’ll be responsible for the conception, creation and execution of creative digital assets – primarily this will be across a number of major Group web projects so experience in delivery of websites from concept to execution and beyond is essential.

The right person is likely to be from a general design background whose focus has emerged in digital than a web design purist. But if you’re the latter we definitely want to hear from you too.

You’ll love technology, staying up to date on the latest and greatest tools. Not only that but you’ll like talking about it with other like-minded individuals and experiment for fun.  

We’ll listen to any ideas you have too, so hopefully you have a few.
