Junior Freelance Graphic Designer & Social Media – Godalming

The Beyond Comic is an independently run monthly print comic for children aged 5–12. It brings together some of the best illustration and storytelling talent from across the UK. Every page is human-made, and we're on a mission to get kids reading, drawing and off screens.

We're a small local business looking for a creative, organised freelancer to help with social media and design for around two days a month. It's ideal for a design student or recent graduate who wants real portfolio work with a growing brand. You'll work directly with the founder and see your work out in the world every month.

Please note: we're only able to consider applicants who live in or very near Godalming. We'd like to meet in person regularly, so this isn't a remote role.
