London, UK
Design enabling/research manager
at The Glass-House Community Led Design
The Glass-House Community Led Design is looking for a design enabling/research manager to join its team in London.
The Glass-House Community Led Design is looking for an experienced design enabler and researcher to contribute to our work supporting communities, organisations and networks to work collaboratively on the design of buildings, open spaces, homes and neighbourhoods.
With 17 years’ experience of supporting people, projects and places, we want to explore how we can continue to make a difference through our support and outreach. As well as looking towards the future, we are embarking on a period of revisiting past projects and bringing together our approaches and tools with the long-term goal of making them publicly accessible to inspire a bigger audience to put people at the heart of places.
The post-holder will help us to develop and deliver internal and collaborative action research projects, in particular, the Empowering Design Practices project, with an input of design, engagement and visioning expertise to support our innovative, evidence-based approach. You will have the experience and skills to deliver strategic and practical support to community groups and professionals, to help build capacity in effective and inclusive design processes.
The role will also involve leading the research and organisation of The Glass-House archive, in collaboration with colleagues, revisiting past projects and producing accessible and engaging resources to help share our learning and build capacity within communities, practice and academia.
Excellent communication and organisational skills are essential, as is an experience of working with communities to help them play an active role in shaping their places.
This is one of two new roles that we are recruiting for, on a fixed-term contract (14 months), with the potential to extend.
