As the World Literacy Foundation continues to expand its programs, campaigns and global reach, we are seeking a creative and capable Volunteer Graphic Designer to develop engaging visual materials across our literacy initiatives, digital communications, fundraising campaigns, partnerships and organisational activities.
Key responsibilities
• Design social media graphics and campaign materials
• Create visual materials for corporate partnerships, sponsorships and stakeholder engagement
• Support the design of newsletters, reports, program materials and organisational documents
• Adapt approved designs across different sizes, formats and communication channels
• Prepare files appropriately for digital publication and professional printing
• Maintain organised and editable source files
• Apply approved brand elements consistently across materials
• Incorporate feedback and prepare designs for final approval

About you
We welcome applications from emerging and experienced designers with capability in:
• Graphic design
• Visual communication
• Advertising and campaign design
• Social media design
• Brand implementation
Applicants should be comfortable using Adobe Creative Cloud, Canva or comparable professional design software.
The successful applicant will have strong visual judgement, attention to detail and the ability to interpret a brief accurately.
The applicant should be reliable, responsive to feedback and capable of delivering editable files by agreed deadlines.
Previous professional experience is highly regarded but not essential. Design students, recent graduates, emerging designers and experienced professionals are encouraged to apply.
Relationship to brand strategy
The Graphic Designer will focus on producing high-quality materials within approved organisational and brand direction rather than independently redefining the organisation’s identity.
