Part 1 architectural assistant

Richard Parr Associates is seeking a Part 1 architectural assistant to join its team in London and the Cotswolds, UK.

Join us on an exciting journey of creativity and design excellence.

We have a wave of exciting, industry-leading projects and we’re on the lookout for two talented and enthusiastic Part 1 architectural assistants to join our friendly teams (in both London and the Cotswolds).

Who we are

At Richard Parr Associates, we create unique architectural and design experiences across a wide range of luxury residential and commercial projects. We don’t follow a set style – instead, each project is a fresh journey shaped by our clients, the site, and our shared imagination.

What we do

Design is just the beginning. We offer a holistic, highly personal service – led from start to finish by Richard Parr and supported by our passionate, skilled team. We craft thoughtful, beautiful spaces that exceed expectations, acting as a trusted guide throughout the journey of bringing dream homes to life.

What makes working here special

We believe great work comes from a happy, supported team. Here’s what you can expect:

• competitive salary, annual pay reviews, and bonus scheme
• personal and cultural allowances
• clear, continual opportunities for career progression
• ongoing training and development to help you grow
• 22 days holiday plus bank holidays
• regular team lunches
• team-building outings

What we’re looking for

You’ll be joining a close-knit and collaborative team that mostly focuses on high-end residential work. We’re looking for someone who’s creative, proactive, and passionate about design.

Here’s what helps you stand out:

• proficiency in AutoCAD (or willingness to learn)
• a love for both modern architecture and heritage buildings
• team spirit and experience working collaboratively
• eagerness to learn about design, construction, and documentation
• strong communication and organisational skills
• confidence to take initiative and manage tasks independently
• some exposure to detailed design – and a hunger to build on it

We’d love to hear from you!

Please send us:

• a cover letter as to why you should join the team.
