What we are looking for
We're looking for an experienced, digitally confident Learning and Capability Lead to join us for 12 months and help shape the future of how our people learn, grow, and thrive.

If you're excited by the idea of putting people at the heart of learning and exploring new ways of working, we'd love to hear from you.

Who We Are
The Useful Simple Trust (UST) is a family of professional design and consultancy practices. Our 90+ talented and committed engineers, architects, designers and strategists work side-by-side creating positive outcomes for our changing built environment.
Useful Studio, Expedition Engineering and Useful Projects share space, ideas and experience, and regularly collaborate on a range of high-profile projects in the UK and internationally. Our breadth of experience gives us a depth of inter-disciplinary thinking rarely found in the industry.
As a Social Enterprise, B Corp and Employee Benefit Organisation we do things differently. Our people are highly motivated and committed because our structure and values mean that our combined success is shared equitably. We share part of our profit and re-invest the rest in research, social and environmental projects.
Diversity Statement
UST strives to be a diverse and inclusive place where we can all be ourselves. We are working to change the lack of representation of minority groups and are particularly keen to hear from anyone with relevant skills and experience who feels they are underrepresented in the industry.
We encourage people from culturally diverse backgrounds, women, people with different abilities, LGBTIQ+ community, gender, all age groups, and those with intersectional or multiple diverse characteristics to apply. We know that diversity makes us stronger, and we are committed to creating a working environment that is inclusive and ensures everyone can be heard and valued for their contributions
