If you're a Senior Architect who actually enjoys the complexity, pace and purpose of healthcare design, this is one of the few roles in Scotland that genuinely moves the needle for your career. This practice has built a reputation for delivering high-quality clinical environments, and they're now looking for someone who can step into a senior role with confidence, steer projects with authority and bring both design intelligence and technical grounding to the table. The team is busy, the pipeline is strong and the work has depth.

The opportunity sits within a well-established healthcare group delivering a mix of primary care facilities, acute treatment centres, specialist refurbishment programmes and sensitive clinical upgrades. Their approach isn't about churning out standardised healthcare boxes. They focus on patient experience, operational efficiency and rigorous technical coordination from day one, which means you're part of a team that genuinely cares about how buildings function for the people using them. If you've ever worked in a practice where healthcare projects felt like an afterthought or a headache nobody wanted, this is the opposite.

The senior role here is genuinely senior. You won't be tucked away fixing door schedules for months. You'll be running packages, leading meetings, setting direction for junior team members and taking the reins on coordination with engineers, contractors, clinical users and NHS stakeholders. They want someone who can own decisions, articulate design reasoning clearly and guide a project from concept through delivery. There's support when you need it, but the expectation is that you're confident enough to lead and calm enough to keep things moving when projects get complicated.

They operate with a grown-up culture. There's structure, clarity and proper communication, which matters massively in healthcare. Instead of firefighting, you work in a team that prepares well, thinks strategically and doesn't let avoidable chaos dictate your week. Their seniors are trusted, and that trust means autonomy, visibility and the space to actually influence outcomes rather than being another cog in a huge hierarchy.

Progression is a realistic conversation here. They're large enough to offer opportunities and variety, but not so large that you'll disappear into the background. Talented people rise quickly, and those with the drive to take on more responsibility generally get that chance.

The ideal person for this role is someone with a solid background in healthcare architecture, ideally with experience across both new build and refurbishment work. You'll need strong Revit skills, confidence in front of clients and consultants, and enough technical understanding to guide complex coordination without second-guessing yourself every step of the way. If you've mentored more junior colleagues or taken the lead on tricky packages before, you'll fit in well.

If you're looking for a role where the work has purpose, the team behaves like adults and the projects challenge you in the right way, this one is absolutely worth exploring properly. Drop me a message and I'll send you the full brief and salary details.
