PROGRAMME LEAD with Build Up | London

Full Time, £36,500 – £39, 000

Can you support young people to influence London’s built environment? Build Up is looking for an experienced architect / spatial designer to deliver our major projects and play a lead role in our organisation’s development.

You’ll be joining a multi-award-winning charity that supports young people to shape their local area. On our projects, young people learn practical skills as they design and build permanent, high-quality and accessible spaces for local communities.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone with experience in setting up initiatives and / or developing existing organisations. You’ll have previously lead design projects from brief through to completion and have the flexibility to bring your skills to our small team. You need to be able to build relationships with a wide range of people; experience working with local communities or young people is also important.

The position

This is a new role for Build Up – you’ll be responsible for design and engagement in our organisation. Alongside working collaboratively with our whole team, you’ll develop new programmes of work for our organisation, and lead your own projects. You’ll work closely with our Director, and support project staff and young people aged 18-23 years old on work placement.

Who we are

Our purpose is to empower young people to shape where they live, and make decision-making in London’s built environment representative of its communities. We do this by running projects that put young people in control of the design and construction of permanent public and community spaces. Our past projects include The Shade and Build Up Hackney.
