Bristol, United Kingdom BJSS Full time

Exciting opportunity for people taking their first career steps in The Digital Design World

Start Date: September 2024

Fancy a career where you can combine practical, hands-on learning with working on some of the UK’s most exciting Design projects? One thing’s for sure at BJSS you’ll always be learning

Initially you will join the SPARCK Academy foundations course to learn the tools and skills that will shape your future in research and design consultancy. Once you are assigned to a project the support and training opportunities don’t stop. You will be assigned a mentor to support you with your development, you will have access to a wide range of learning resources, and your fellow Academy Alumni.

You will find a typical day on the Academy to be engaging, fun and informative where you will learn the basics of research and design methodologies to develop digital products for real people. It will be filled with interactive sessions, consisting of both theory and practical and aided by our expert tutors who will make sure that you get the most out of your learning experience.

At SPARCK, we’re proactive self-starters who bring ideas to life. This academy programme will focus on the 70% - the opportunity to work on real consultancy challenges that put your knowledge into practice. After the initial 4 weeks you’ll be placed on a client project alongside a cross-functional user-centred design team. Here you’ll need to get ‘comfortable in the squiggle’ to scope your own work, lead user interviews, facilitate design workshops and present to clients and stakeholders. This is where the real learning starts

This role can be based from either our Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester or Nottingham offices.

You’ll get to work with some of the brightest and best in the industry in our design practices.
