We're champions of creativity and collaboration, dedicated to giving our learners the specialist skills and opportunities they need for outstanding careers in digital media and design.

Our Department of Architecture is rich in diversity, creativity and research, with an international faculty active across the industry. Our aim is to become a portal for talent across London driving growth in the knowledge economy and creative industries. Ravensbourne students actively engage with experimental live projects and cross-disciplinary design briefs to create ideas and designs for future urban living fit for the 21st Century.

The Role

We are looking to recruit an innovative educator to provide expertise in teaching, learning, and administration to support the continued development of our architecture courses. The individual must provide leadership in design and technology subjects in the Department of Architecture and work effectively with the team. 

The successful individual will have delivered a sustained architecture design studio in a UK architecture school, and demonstrate creative pedagogy to support students develop, iterate, and synthesise their projects that reflect current, critical debates in the profession, the duties of the architect and climate literacy. 

This role will:

• Set creative agendas focused on architecture and spatial design for current critical debates, whilst enhancing student’s communication, representation and professional skills appropriate to the level of teaching;
• Lead and coordinate the delivery of undergraduate design studio teaching, including lectures, seminars, and tutorials;
• Take responsibility to ensure high-quality teaching and learning;
• To be responsible for the integration of the ARB and RIBA professional criteria in the curriculum of our undergraduate and postgraduate architecture courses;
• Achieve and maintain learning and assessment standards that demonstrate techniques at the forefront of architecture, underpinned by the principles of climate literacy, ethical practice, and health and life safety;

Working closely with the Course Leaders in the Department of Architecture, the candidate will deliver design studio teaching and technical skills at undergraduate level and support the teaching on our Master of Architecture courses. Moreover, the successful candidate will participate in cross-disciplinary activities and knowledge exchange to enhance the collaborative approach at Ravensbourne. 

The Candidate

The successful candidate will have comprehensive knowledge of ARB and RIBA requirements at Parts 1, 2, and 3 in UK schools of architecture, coupled with a demonstrable professional knowledge and experience of architecture and spatial design, professional practice, and teaching. 

The candidate will possess excellent organisational and communication skills and the ability to engage students directly with their chosen industry will be essential. HEA accreditation or a PGCE is desirable. Candidates without a teaching qualification will be required to achieve this within 2-years of appointment into the role. 

The appointed individual will work 3-days per week in the Department of Architecture throughout the calendar year. They will be required to teach students across our professionally prescribed and validated courses, and courses without professional recognition.
