Job description

Planit a place-based design practice is seeking a Senior Landscape Architect to join our team at our Regenerative Practice Studio in Standish, Gloucestershire.

Situated in 8 acres of fertile land within the AONB on the edge of the Cotswold Escarpment, our Standish studio lies at the heart of our regenerative thinking. It is a working model that helps shape and inform our designs, and a resource for applying and experimenting with regenerative land management.

Here, we’ve been developing our regenerative practice tool, a method of assessing the social and environmental credentials of the projects we work on. It’s a way of challenging the brief, our clients and collaborators, seeking to restore the balance between people, place and nature.

Our work extends widely throughout the surrounding region, from urban to rural environs, developing opportunities for community benefit and reconnection to nature. Recently we’ve been designing new University parks, the revitalisation of listed landscapes, visioning historic parks and gardens and masterplanning the revitalisation of historic town centres. Across the five studios we work as one shared resource, constantly collaborating and refining ideas, and practices.

You’ll be working as part of a growing team on career defining projects that help shape the future of the Southwest region and wider sites across the UK for future generations. We will support your career development, helping you achieve your goals, whilst mentoring and leading less-experienced colleagues and contributing to our studio culture.

To qualify for this position, you should possess a post-graduate qualification in Landscape Architecture and have at least six year’s experience working in a creative practice. You should enjoy working as part of a team in a collaborative studio environment, be self-motivated, engaged and creative.

We are an Employee-Owned business, committed to standing alongside clients, communities, and nature to shape meaningful places and explore regenerative futures. As one of the first B Corps of our type in the world, we prioritise people, planet, and profit equally, and welcome candidates who share these values. We are an inclusive workplace that values diversity, and welcome applicants from all backgrounds.

We support our team by providing benefits that include a minimum of 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, flexible start and finish times, hybrid working (1 day per week from home after an initial settling in period) and flexible working, company pension, enhanced maternity and paternity pay, support with professional fees, CPD, and an annual study trip allowance. There are opportunities to work and collaborate across our UK wide studios.

Salary: £40,000 – £45,000, according to level of experience
