About Us
Clayton Architecture is an award-winning RIBA Chartered Practice based in Ainsdale, Southport. Since 2015, we have built a reputation for delivering high-quality residential, commercial and heritage projects across the North West.
As a small, close-knit team, we believe every member of staff plays an important role in the success of our practice. Unlike larger firms, you'll have the opportunity to work closely with clients, take ownership of projects and see your designs through from concept to completion.
We're looking for a motivated Architect to join our growing team.
The Role
You will be involved in all stages of the design and construction process, managing projects with support from our experienced team.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Managing projects from feasibility through to completion.
- Preparing planning, Building Regulations and construction drawings.
- Producing technical detailing and specifications.
- Liaising directly with clients, consultants and contractors.
- Attending client meetings and site visits.
- Assisting with contract administration where required.
- Working collaboratively within our friendly studio environment.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
