London, UK
Part 2 architectural assistant/Part 3 qualified architect
at Bradley Van Der Straeten Architects
Bradley Van Der Straeten Architects is looking for a talented architectural assistant with Part 2 working experience or recently qualified Part 3 architect to join its team in London.
We’re a design-led studio that specialises in creating joyful, characterful homes that make everyday life a little brighter.
We’re after someone who shares our enthusiasm for sustainable, people-centred, healthy homes, with a strong eye for design and an interest in how spaces feel as well as how they look.
You’ll ideally have experience working directly with private clients on residential projects, and enjoy seeing ideas through from sketch to site.
We’re looking for someone who:
- has UK project experience
- enjoys working collaboratively as part of a small team
- brings flexibility and initiative, and is happy to get involved in both project and studio-wide tasks
- has good verbal presentation skills
- approaches work with curiosity, positivity and a sense of humour
- manages time well and keeps calm under pressure
- is confident using ArchiCAD (or Revit) and Adobe Creative Suite
- can draw by hand – even if just to think through ideas
What you can expect from us
We take pride in being a supportive, well-organised studio where creativity and wellbeing go hand in hand.
Here’s what you’ll find at BVDS:
- a healthy work–life balance (we don’t rely on overtime)
- a friendly, down-to-earth team that enjoys what we do
- monthly team lunches and quarterly trips to recharge and connect
- a collaborative environment where your ideas are heard and valued
- increasing holiday allowance to reward longevity
- a mix of experience and energy – the perfect place to grow your skills
- opportunities to progress, lead and make your mark
- a great Hackney location, close to London Fields
- a flexible working policy, including work-from-home days and the option to work from abroad
If you’re looking to join a creative, people-focused studio and play a meaningful role in the delivery of thoughtful, well-crafted homes, we’d love to hear from you.
Availability to start this before Christmas is ideal. Please state your Part 2/3 status and notice period. Salary is competitive and based on experience.
Send us a short statement telling us why you’d like to join BVDS, along with your CV and a concise portfolio (max 7MB) using this platform or via email [email protected].
