Meet the
disabled-led team
building inclusive brands worldwide.
Born from frustration with inaccessible corporate culture, Inkfire reimagines what an agency looks like when disabled people lead from the centre — not the sidelines.
The benefits of working at Inkfire
A different kind of agency culture. Built around access, creativity, and people doing their best work when they are properly supported.
Built Around People, Not Pressure
Work is designed around real humans. Health, access needs, capacity, and communication all shape how we work together.
Remote-First Flexibility
Home, hybrid, or wherever you focus best. What matters is the work and the support behind it, not the postcode.
Disabled-Led Culture
Accessibility is built into everything we do. Our lived experience shapes the way we design systems, teams, and client work.
Purposeful Client Work
We partner with organisations that want to do things properly. Strategy, accessibility, design, and technology work together.
Creative Freedom
Ideas are encouraged, not buried. Team members shape projects and contribute their perspective.
The Right Tools
Thoughtful systems and good technology remove friction so the team can focus on doing great work.
Sustainable Growth
Progress without burnout. We prioritise long-term wellbeing and skill development.
Work With Meaning
Every project helps make digital spaces more inclusive and accessible.

About Inkfire
Inkfire is a remote-first, disability-led creative and digital team. We build accessible, thoughtful work for organisations that care about people as much as outcomes, and we want this placement to feel genuinely developmental rather than like free labour disguised as a role.

You will help shape website concepts, page layouts, and accessible content journeys while working with a supportive team that explains the why behind each project.

Everything in this role is delivered remotely. We use async updates, recorded walkthroughs, and structured check-ins so the role stays flexible without leaving anyone isolated.
Why This Role Exists
We want to create a realistic route back into paid digital work for talented people who have had their career disrupted by disability, caregiving, health, or life changes.
