This is the perfect opportunity for an ambitious and enthusiastic Junior Developer with 2+ years professional experience to further their career in an exceptionally creative, successful and progressive Brighton-based design agency.
If you’re a digital thinker, innovator and doer looking to work for a purpose-led design agency in one of the UK’s most dynamic, creative and digitally ambitious cities, this one is for you.
Baxter & Bailey is a brand design agency. We’re a digitally focused, multi award-winning and ethically conscious team of ten. If you are motivated by the concept of design-for-good and have the relevant skills and experience – alongside being bright, meticulous, keen to learn and fun to work with – then we want to hear from you.
Brighton-based. Flexible terms. Salary range from £26,000 to £30,000 per annum, dependent on ambition and experience.
Founded by Matt Baxter and Dom Bailey in 2012, we’re currently a team of ten people specialising in the areas of brand strategy, brand identity, brand communications and brand environments. We work for all kinds of clients in all kinds of sectors, but we’re perhaps best known for our work in arts and culture, charity and non-profit, higher education, media brands and publishing.
We’re here to do the work we believe in, for clients we admire. For us, that means brand-focused design and digital communications that make a tangible difference to audiences and a positive impact in the world.
We’ve been around long enough to know that really great things only happen when both studio and client share an ambition to create something of lasting value. The point is to do work that matters. Work you care about. Work you can look back on and feel proud of. If this sounds like you, we want to hear from you.
This job description and person specification provides an overview of the role, responsibilities and the essential skills and experience required. It is not an exhaustive list of tasks.
The person specification provides a detailed list of the skills, knowledge, experience and attributes required to do the job.
Please provide detailed evidence and examples of how you meet the person specification in your written application. Feel free to list each one and provide relevant details of how you meet these requirements.
In addition to your CV, we very much want to understand why you want to work for Baxter & Bailey, how you will help us and what you’d personally like to achieve.

Our 180 initiative gives each team member on rotation 180 minutes (0.5 day) to leave the studio to do something inspiring, different or new.
We have two annual all-team parties. One in the Summer and one in the Winter. Recent parties have involved beach volleyball, boule tournaments, ice-skating, zip wires and curling. All our parties involve drinks, dinner with the optional invitation to gigs, dancing and the occasional karaoke sing-off.
Our Monday morning meeting aims to get the week off to an energetic start. We brew some coffee and talk about inspiring stuff we’ve seen or done or what’s hot in the world of design, art, culture and sport. We find it’s a great team-focused way to start the week.
