Urban Design Tools Manager & Urban Design Tools Officer
Are you interested in how we can create happier, healthier and more sustainable places? The Office for Place is a newly established non-departmental public body that will develop and share evidence, advice, tools and learning to support the creation and stewardship of places that are beautiful, sustainable, popular, and healthy.
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of an organisation whose objectives are to:
- Catalyse a fundamental change within and across all levels of government, communities, and the development, planning and design industries, to support the creation and stewardship of popular, healthy, beautiful, and sustainable places.
- Help neighbourhoods, communities and public servants working on their behalf, to ask for and deliver new places, and manage existing places, to be popular, healthy, beautiful, and sustainable.
- Support public sector planners and the British design and development industries to be amongst the best place makers in the world aided by improving UK and international data on happiness, health, popularity, and sustainability.
To help meet this challenge, we are seeking two urban or architectural designers to join our team in Stoke-on-Trent as Urban Design Tools Manager and Urban Design Tools Officer. The roles will support the delivery of a range of innovative tools, templates and products to help local authorities, developers and other planning and development stakeholders to design better, and higher quality, places.
You will be joining a new organisation at the beginning of its journey, with an independent chair and a board of non-executive directors. You will be able to meaningfully shape the programme of work that the Office for Place delivers from the earliest stage, helping Office for Place to build its credibility as an expert voice in design, planning and placemaking.
