Junior Game Artist Apprenticeship

About The Role We are looking for a talented and driven Junior Game Artist to join the Realityjam studio team as an apprentice, contributing directly to the visual development of the MMO game, 5th Dimension. This is a fully remote, paid apprenticeship offering structured training, hands-on production experience, and a clear progression pathway within the studio. You will work across character art, environment art, and UI assets, collaborating with technical artists, programmers, and designers to deliver high-quality, game-ready visuals that meet performance targets and serve the aesthetic vision of 5th Dimension. The apprenticeship training that supports this role is a level 6 ‘degree’ apprenticeship. Accordingly, the educational component of the role is delivered 2 days per week and constitutes a rigorous, intense vocational training pathway that requires some pre-existing knowledge and experience of technical art and CG. Degree apprenticeships are the most rigorous apprenticeship qualification available in the UK. Accordingly, this role is not suitable for applicants who have not had some experience in a professional environment. In tandem with the apprenticeship qualification, the successful applicant will also qualify for a Unity Associate Certification at the completion of the apprenticeship, which adds an additional, internationally recognized qualification layer to the outcomes produced by this role. The role comprises elements of technical art and 3D design (art), working with Unity and various other 3D and asset creation tools. Don’t yet meet the requirements for this role? You can still apply to join our team via our pre-apprenticeship program which offers a direct route into this role.
