Design by Nature

Looking for an opportunity to use your design skills for good, but not the right time for a full-time job? We’ve recently launched ‘Design By Nature’, an initiative that gives design students the chance to work on living briefs which explore everyday environmental issues from the air we breathe to the water we use and the clothes we wear. Ideas can be submitted between now and May 25^th 2020 and there’s a chance for stand out ideas to be offered an internship at Hubbub later in the year.

Community Project Trainee

We’ve unfortunately had to postpone the recruitment for this position due to the coronavirus outbreak across the UK. As the government is advising against social interaction and travel, we’re unable to carry out community projects at this time. We’re still fully committed to hiring two trainees in Bradford and carrying out this project, and will be re-advertising once government advice changes.

If you’ve already applied, thank you so much for taking the time to do this and we’ll get in touch with you individually about the next steps. If you were looking to apply, please keep an eye out on this page for further news. Many thanks again and so sorry to disappoint.
