WHAT IS THE PRACTICE SUPPORT PROGRAMME?

 

The Practice Support Programme is a brand-new learning, mentorship and development programme that will be open to architecture firms and other built environment businesses.

The detailed design of the programme will need to incorporate cutting-edge sustainable practices and green skills to ensure minority-led, minority-owned businesses develop resilience and adaptability in a changeable and competitive market.

The programme will also contribute to making the built environment industry more diverse by supporting practices led by people from underrepresented groups to successfully bid for work, including, but not limited to, public sector commissions.

The programme will build momentum through the strength of the cohort and generate deeper professional networks. Over a 12-month period, the programme will support participating practices in broadening their networks, knowledge, and skills.

The three core elements of the programme are:

  • Learning
    A programme of targeted skills and development workshops, delivered by speakers reflective of the cohort’s diversity, commissioners, and potential future clients.
  • Mentorship
    A structured mentoring programme, encouraging reciprocal elements, focussing on individual businesses’ and leaders’ needs
  • Development
    A cohort-led research project/think tank to research and explore barriers to diversity in practice and procurement

 

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

 

We are seeking a Programme Lead with inspirational leadership skills, strategic thinking, a passion for innovation, and a strong record of delivery. The ideal candidate will have established industry contacts, experience in successfully implementing new programmes and initiatives, and the ability to inspire and motivate a team towards a shared vision. Additionally, we are looking for someone who is adept at problem-solving, collaboration, and effective communication.

If you believe you possess these qualities and are ready to take on this opportunity, we encourage you to apply and showcase how you can contribute to the success of this new programme.
