The practice is known for its commitment to sustainability and historic buildings, and for giving existing structures a new lease of life through considered, innovative and sympathetic design. It's an ideal move for an Architect looking to join an experienced team, deepen their technical and design expertise, and take on a varied mix of conservation and heritage projects, from initial concept to completion.

- Relevant post-qualification experience in a UK practice, preferably with a background in conservation, heritage, or historic buildings
- A real enthusiasm for historic buildings, conservation, and sustainable architectural design
- Strong design and technical ability, with a sound understanding of how existing and historic buildings can be repaired, adapted, and improved with sensitivity
- Proven experience across all project stages, from early concept design through to technical design and construction
- Confident AutoCAD skills, with the ability to produce accurate drawings and project information
- Good working knowledge of UK planning, building regulations, and conservation requirements
- Excellent communication, organizational, and teamworking skills, and the ability to work well with colleagues, clients, and consultants
- A full, clean driving licence and access to a car, with the ability to travel around Oxfordshire, would be an advantage
