We are currently seeking an enthusiastic and talented individual to join our team. The role will consist of a diverse scope of responsibilities across all stages of architectural design and production, working under the supervision of Project Architects and Directors.

Candidates should be highly motivated, with excellent communication and organisational skills in addition to excellent design focus, an eye for detail and a willingness to learn.

At London South Bank University, we aim to develop apprentices' understanding - and practical application - of the following issues:

  • The scope of architecture involves the conception, elaboration, and production of those spaces, buildings, cities, and landscapes forming the built environment
  • Design as the central focus of the LSBU architecture programme where this is understood primarily as a critical, reflective, and analytical cultural practice.Design has a reciprocal relationship with areas of specialist knowledge including histories and theories of architecture, constructional and environmental technologies, and professional skills
  • The value of a creative and focused education, and rigorous programme of study for apprentices from diverse backgrounds already working in practice and who wish to become professionally qualified architects
  • The intellectual capacity required to think critically, and the practical skills to develop and communicate design ideas through processes of thinking, making, and designing students engage with the material, social, and environmental issues of the contemporary world, drawing inspiration from that world and the world of imagination
