The Complete Creative: You have expert-level mastery of Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop) alongside extensive video editing and motion graphics capability (Premiere Pro, After Effects). A Commercial Leader: You understand that beautiful design is useless if it doesn't drive commercial goals (occupancy, recruitment, brand equity) or save the business money (supplier negotiation). An Empathetic Communicator: You possess the emotional intelligence to visually market highly sensitive adult social care and dementia services with profound dignity and regulatory (CQC) compliance. What will you gain? The Kingsley Package: £36,500.00 Base Salary 10% Performance-Related Pay (PRP) Bonus tied directly to your commercial and delivery results.
