JPCreative, a successful and busy London based design & communications agency with a 9 year track record in delivering award winning creative solutions are seeking to add to our team with the introduction of a Junior Creative Developer.

Working on a superb variety of clients and projects you will offer a rare mix of skills combining an excellent eye for web/interactive design and also demonstrating the ability to bring designs to life through your proven development skills.

The successful candidate will play an instrumental role in the ongoing development of our digital business and will be given every opportunity to grow and develop within the team.

The Candidate

People call you a hybrid as you are a rare breed who mixes an excellent eye for design with outstanding technical delivery. Passionate about the internet, you use it everyday for almost everything! Hungry to learn, you keep on top of emerging trends through the portals, forums and newsletters you subscribe to. Ideas driven and a lateral thinker, you demonstrate a keen acumen, understanding and enthusiasm for interactive design and development. You have the ability to work well with both technical and non-technical people and can act as an excellent liaison between the client, design and development teams. You have a can-do attitude, thrive under pressure and enjoy being part of a positive, highly motivated and friendly team.

The Role

Working within a small team to initially aid in the design and production of websites you will soon be working independently on your own projects and clients. Daily work will be diverse and refreshingly challenging. A typical day could include any of the following: Interface design; technical implementation; server set up and management of client hosting; meeting with colleagues to discuss and educate how the web can be used, animation for an exhibition projection and much more besides!

The Rewards

A rare opportunity to flex both your creative and technical muscle, you will be empowered to manage your own work and can make your own choices and decisions whilst being offered all the support, training and development you need to truly thrive! Work in a happy, friendly, positive studio in the bustling centre of Brixton. Be part of a fast growing agency with a superb mix of local and international clients.

The Skills

GRAPHICS// ability to produce designs and then prep them for the web using the usual suspects in this industry (Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash).

HTML & CSS// as a keen adopter of Web 2.0 and with a good understanding of web accessibility you will pride yourself on producing top class HTML & CSS that will pass all standards testing.

FLASH// the obvious animation skills, and some action script to build on. The ability to tween with code an advantage as is the ability to keep code in one place with the use of functions, though these are things that can be mentored.

EXPERIENCE// Passion and positive enthusiasm are most important, but a minimum of 1-2 years agency experience would be a distinct advantage.

An interest or experience in video editing, PHP and hosting solutions would also be advantageous, but by no means essential, as would a keen interest in emerging technologies.

Ultimately, an impossible to disguise raw passion for interactive design and development coupled with some solid, but junior level skills, will be enough to see you start a rapid ascent at a great agency!
