Does design variety and diversity spark a light within you?

Would you like to channel your creative energy as part of one of the most content diverse, in-house design teams in UK broadcasting? Where your work will inform, entertain and make a difference to millions of viewers.

An exciting opportunity has arisen at ITV Daytime Design for an experienced Broadcast Motion Designer to join our team.

Working within a supportive and friendly environment, broadcasting from the iconic TV Centre in White City, West London - you would be working on the flagship ITV Daytime programmes - Good Morning Britain, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women. Live, news and magazine format shows, filling 7.5 hours of national television each week day. Our design output covers a wide variety of programme styles and content spanning global news, lifestyle and entertainment, across linear and digital platforms.

You will be adept at Designing across quick turnaround live programme projects, long term programme projects, title sequences, branding, content design and digital output.

If you thrive on variety and are keen to broaden your design palette our wide ranging current affairs and magazine content is perfect for you - challenging and rewarding. Rarely are two days the same.

This is a very broad design role yet our core foundation is strong typography and image over visual effects. Having an interest in news and current affairs is as important as being up to date with latest design trends.

This past year more than any other has highlighted the can-do attitude vital in carrying out our roles.

With ingenuity and an amazing can-do approach to keep the nation informed and to raise spirits during such a difficult time, we’re one of a small number of broadcasters who remained live on-air throughout the past years lockdown.

Ideally this role would suit designers with a strong portfolio and over three years experience in live broadcast design. You will have a passion for our ITV shows and are keen to expand your repertoire and portfolio.

Expertise in After Effects and the Adobe product line is essential with working knowledge in Cinema 4D and live broadcast graphics systems (Avid Maestor/Vizrt) a bonus.

Our shows being far from standard is reflected in our roster pattern - all our designers cover a varied shift pattern that includes some nights and Sundays.

To see examples of the wide variety of work we create - please take a look at our latest showreel...and this was all created working from home during lockdown!
