Their Health + Care team is leading transformative change in the sector, and now is the perfect time to join their journey.

  • Engage with current research and sector innovation to help deliver designs that are both progressive and patient-focused

  • ARB-registered architect with proven experience in healthcare design, ideally across both public and private healthcare sectors

  • A sound understanding of health planning, technical requirements, and regulatory frameworks

  • Experience delivering projects through RIBA stages 2–6, ideally in a leadership capacity

  • Excellent interpersonal and mentoring skills, with a collaborative and proactive mindset

  • A genuine passion for designing spaces that support wellbeing, efficiency, and future healthcare needs

What’s in it for you?

You’ll join a studio that combines creativity and rigour in equal measure—where design quality is matched by a strong culture of support, recognition, and personal development. In return, you’ll receive:

  • £48,000–£60,000 salary, depending on experience

  • 20 days holiday, plus one additional day per year of service (up to 25 days)

  • 5% employer pension contribution

  • Cycle to Work scheme

  • Childcare vouchers

  • Life insurance

  • Friday drinks and a genuinely sociable studio environment

  • A clear pathway for career growth in a nationally recognised, design-led team.

If you’re ready to design for impact and lead within one of the UK’s most respected studios, we’d love to hear from you.
