About the Role

This position is ideal for design students or recent graduates who are looking to gain an insight... into life in an agency or commercial environment. The internship will provide a valuable opportunity to get hands-on design experience in the pharmaceutical industry.

As a Digital Design Intern at Costello Medical, you will support with a wide range of digital projects, including the creation of interactive content for conferences and events, the development of digital marketing materials such as HTML emails, web banners and social media graphics, as well as the design, maintenance, and testing of new and existing website and web applications. We are therefore looking for talented individuals with a great understanding of aesthetics and a meticulous attention to detail.

This internship involves close collaboration with experienced members of the Creative team who will provide full training on the technical aspects of the role and effective client communication. A high level of organisation and flexibility is essential as you will be working on multiple projects at a time.

Examples of our work can be found here, as well as a showcase of our digital design services here.

Hybrid Working Policy: We recognise that home-working can improve work life balance, reduce commuting times and costs, and provide the opportunity to juggle personal commitments. At the same time, we believe that having face-to-face time in the office holds many benefits and is central to ensuring that the community we have created, where people have a workplace they belong to and feel part of, is never lost.

Given the wealth of training, mentorship and development opportunities that are available as part of our internship programmes, time spent in the office is even more crucial. Therefore, our Interns are able to work from home 1 day per week.

Career Prospects After the Internship

As a Digital Design Intern in the Creative team, you will have the option to select an internship length of either 3 or 6 months, enabling you to develop your skills whilst learning from experienced members of the team. Additionally, there is the opportunity for strong candidates to apply for the Digital Designer role and join our expanding team on a permanent basis.
