Ensure that the complex design demands of healthcare and education buildings are coordinated with precision, care, and clarity.

Who We Are
Architecture Social is a specialist recruitment consultancy connecting design coordination professionals with practices delivering healthcare, education, and civic projects across the UK. Our clients include NHS framework architects, university estates specialists, and multi-sector practices with strong public sector portfolios. We are frequently asked to source Design Coordinators for these technically demanding environments, and registering speculatively ensures your profile is prioritised when these opportunities arise.

What Our Clients Typically Ask For
• Experience coordinating design across healthcare or education projects with complex clinical or operational requirements
• Understanding of relevant standards — HBN/HTM for healthcare, BB103/BB93 for education, and DfE baseline designs
• Ability to manage design coordination across multi-consultant teams including infection control, medical gas, and specialist equipment advisors
• Strong BIM coordination skills — federated model management, clash detection, and spatial coordination
• Experience working within NHS frameworks (P22, ProCure, or regional frameworks) or DfE school building programmes
• Proficiency with design management tools and programme tracking across RIBA Stages 2–4
• Clear communication skills for navigating complex stakeholder landscapes including trust estates teams, end users, and clinical staff

If your coordination expertise ensures that healthcare and education buildings are delivered with the precision these sectors demand, we want to hear from you.
