Hi Guys and Girls,

New Concept Gaming, winners of a 2009 Big Chip award, are a rapidly growing Birkenhead-based company serving the games industry. They design and manufacture innovative motion controllers for current and next-generation gaming across a number of platforms, creating a unique combination of gaming and exercise. Their “jOG” peripheral for the Nintendo Wii was named the best toy of 2009 by Channel Five’s Gadget Show.
We’re pleased to be working with them and are currently seeking applications for a Trainee Character Animator to join the company for a 12-week paid Plug-In placement.
