Effusion is a thriving web developer and design business located in the heart of Bethnal Green. This is a great opportunity for a very creative person to join us and help us do better, bolder and more creative things. You'll be able to make the job your own - if you're a great web designer then we'll give you website after challenging website to get your teeth into, but if print or graphic design is more your thing then we'll make sure you're not bored by too many websites.

We work with a range of non-profit, charitable and commercial organisations and take a genuinely different approach to design and development. We’re a very friendly business which means developing great relationships with a set of very open-minded clients who let us do new things in interesting ways and translates into a really very nice place to work.

OUTLINE
We're looking for a middleweight - we're looking for someone with big ideas and a lot of talent, someone who'll grow heavier by the year! Look through our portfolio and you'll see a broad range of work - lots of different styles and design approaches.

Web design accounts for about 70% of our design work, so we're looking for someone who's going to be able to do at least 50% web design. That said, we think the best websites are consistent with a lot of traditional design principles - so if you're more of a print or graphic kind of designer and won't shy away from some web design, then we think you'll be happy.

We'll be presenting you with challenging websites to design, you'll liaise with our clients, you'll pull together complex and disparate ideas and turn them into beautiful design.

The good news is you won't ever have to go near any of the technical stuff, unless of course you want to, so you can get forget HTML and CSS and concentrate on what you're best at - pure design.

You'll be or become the jewel in our crown - we'll be proud of the work you turn-out and we'll all want to show it off to anyone and everyone. We'll support you and make sure that your job remains challenging, stimulating and rewarding, you'll develop and your capabilities will grow.
