About The Role
A rare opportunity to join a leading UK developer of state of the art care homes and supported living schemes as Head of Architecture. This is a strategic, client-side leadership role ideal for an Associate level Architect or Technologist ready to take full ownership of an in-house team and architectural function.
You will lead a growing and very capable internal design team, drive design and technical delivery, and be responsible for the architectural function’s commercial performance — including resource planning and internal P&L accountability.
For the right candidate, this role offers a genuine opportunity to progress to Director level within the next couple of years, as the business continues to expand.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead and manage the in-house architectural team
* Oversee all project stages from feasibility and planning to technical delivery
* Ensure efficient, commercially viable design output aligned with buildability
* Take responsibility for architectural function P&L and internal resource planning
* Liaise with internal development and land team, construction partner, planning consultants, and senior stakeholders
* Contribute to wider strategic decision-making as a key member of the senior team
Ideal Candidate
* A fully qualified Architect with a minimum of 8 years’ post-Part III experience or a highly experienced senior level Technologist.
* Currently operating at Associate or Associate Director level, with experience of the responsibilities expected at this seniority — including leadership, delivery oversight, and client or stakeholder engagement
* Demonstrable experience in the delivery of residential, care, healthcare or supported living schemes
* Commercially astute, with experience of P&L responsibility, budget management, or internal resourcing
* Technically strong, with Revit/BIM awareness and a focus on compliance and buildability
* Excellent leadership, communication, and organisational skills
* Ambition to develop into a Director-level role as the team and business continue to grow
The Package
* Basic salary up to £75,000 depending on experience
* Generous car allowance (or company car option)
* Performance-related bonus
* Company pension scheme
* 25 days holiday + bank holidays (increasing with service)
* Office-based role in a collaborative, commercially focused team
Why Apply?
* Join a well-funded, expanding developer with a strong care-sector pipeline
* Lead and grow an internal architectural function with real autonomy
* Influence project strategy, delivery methods, and business outcomes
* Clear pathway to Director level for candidates who demonstrate leadership and commercial impact
