About Us:

ARB was established by an Act of Parliament – the Architects Act 1997 (the “Act”) – and is the statutory regulator of architects in the UK.

• ARB’s statutory responsibilities are contained in the Act, and cover six main areas:
• Prescribing the qualifications needed to become an architect in the UK
• Keeping the UK Register of Architects
• Ensuring that architects meet our standards for conduct and practice
• Investigating complaints about an architect’s conduct or competence
• Making sure that only people on our register offer their services as an architect
• Acting as the UK’s competent authority for architects

The closing date is 28th April 2024.
We will contact you once short-listing has been completed to advise you of the outcome of your application by no later than 10th May 2024.
We anticipate interviews will take place on 20th May to 7th June 2024.

We particularly welcome applications from candidates from diverse backgrounds and under-represented groups. ARB embraces differences of colleagues and those that work with us and celebrate diversity. Such candidates often only apply for roles they believe they are a perfect match for, but at ARB it’s your attitude and desire to build upon your existing knowledge and skills that matter most, so please do apply even if you feel you don’t tick every box.

No agencies please.
