London, UK
WEdesign programme manager
at The Glass-House Community Led Design
The Glass-House Community Led Design is seeking a WEdesign programme manager to join its team in London.
The Glass-House Community Led Design is an independent national charity dedicated to connecting people with the design of their places, and to connecting design with people. For the past two decades, The Glass-House has supported communities, organisations and networks to work collaboratively to improve the design of their homes, open spaces, buildings and neighbourhoods through our hands-on support and training, knowledge exchange events, action research, events and practical resources.
We are recruiting a new member of The Glass-House team to be our WEdesign programme manager. With practice-based, academic and/or policy experience in the built environment, this person will play an active role in the further development and delivery of our WEdesign event series and associated activities integrating Glass-House events and activities with higher education, communities, practice and policy.
This post creates a new strategic role at The Glass-House, combining innovative thinking and partnership working with the nuts and bolts of designing and delivering a national programme of events and associated activities. Thinking outside traditional boxes, our WEdesign programme manager will work with The Glass-House team and partners to create interactive and innovative spaces for connection, learning and co-design within this established yet evolving programme.
Our new WEdesign programme manager will be someone with creative flair, able to work collaboratively across sectors and disciplines and with people from diverse communities. Passionate about the power of great design to transform places and build social capital, they will play a key role in our work to champion and enable community-led, participatory and collaborative design and cross-sector collaboration in placemaking.
We are initially offering a fixed-term contract of three years on a full-time basis. This post is funded by The Ove Arup Foundation.
