At Curator, we craft social media content that feels authentic and thoughtfully designed - helping brands connect with their audiences in meaningful ways.

We blend strategy and design to create content that feels considered, connects instantly, and invites real interaction with brands - not just quick likes.

We’re now looking for a Junior Social Media Designer to join our team part-time. In this role, you’ll be responsible for crafting high-quality organic and paid social content for a range of clients - from hospitality and real estate to service-based brands and creative businesses.

Working closely with our Social Media Manager and Social Designer, you’ll bring strategy-led ideas to life with strong design, thoughtful execution, and a keen eye for aesthetics. You’ll be joining a small but mighty team, based in our Maryville office, where we share a studio with our sister brand Fisheye (video production agency) - a fast-paced, collaborative space full of creative energy.

The culture.

We keep things flexible, design-led, and collaborative at Curator. Every idea is welcome, and we value initiative, curiosity, and high-quality execution. We’re a tight-knit team, so you’ll be trusted to bring your strengths to the table while having access to mentorship and support as you grow.

As part of the Curator team, you’ll:

Assist in the creative execution of our client accounts.

Collaborate in a space that blends social strategy, branding, photography, and video production.

Join in on team brainstorms, studio shoots, and shared lunches.

Learn from a team of creatives that love what they do.

The role.

Design organic and paid social posts for a wide range of industries and brands.

Support the creation of EDM's including design and copywriting.

Bring a strong understanding of layout, hierarchy, typography and formatting for social.

Maintain our asset library and help keep design files neat and organised.

Collaborate with our Social Media Manager and Social Designer on day-to-day projects.

A solid design portfolio showcasing strong social media work featuring aesthetic versatility and copywriting.

Understanding of social platforms, trends, and content formats (especially Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn).

Ideally based in Newcastle or surrounds, and able to work in-studio 3 days per week.

Bonus points if you:

Have experience with basic animation or video editing.
