These will be made available to teachers and pupils for use in-class and provide a national contingency for remote education should it be needed in the event of disruption.

  • Proven experience as an Illustrator or similar role, with a strong portfolio showcasing a diverse range of work.
  • Proficiency in digital illustration software (e.g., Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Procreate, etc.).
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to take constructive feedback.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.

 

Diversity is an important value for NSEAD, and as an organisation we are passionate about promoting equity at work and are committed to it for all our staff. The teachers who create and deliver lessons should reflect the diversity of the communities we serve.
