About James’ Place
James’ Place Charity was set up by Clare Milford Haven and Nick Wentworth-Stanley in 2008 after their twenty-one-year-old son, James, died by suicide ten days after a minor operation. James had no history of mental illness or depression and had sought urgent help for anxiety and
suicidal thoughts, but didn’t find it. James' Place was set up to make the experience of finding help as easy as possible. James’ Place offers men who are experiencing a suicidal crisis a brief, intensive, therapeutic intervention in a safe environment.

Vacancy: Policy Officer
Reference: ARBPO0125
Location: Based in our Central London office; however, ARB supports a flexible approach to hybrid working.
Contract: Full Time
Salary: £33,440 + excellent benefits
Salary Band: Level 2 Pay Band
Description:
The Architects Registration Board (ARB) is the professional regulator of architects in the UK. We maintain a publicly available Register of architects so anyone using the services of an architect can be confident that they are suitably qualified and are fit to practise. We also set the standards of conduct and practice the profession must meet and take action when any architect falls below them.
Architects play a crucial role in our society because they design the buildings and environments where we live and work. In this role, you’ll help shape how we regulate and improve our understanding of developments in the built environment sector. You’ll be working closely with the rest of our Policy and Communications team and other parts of ARB as you do this.
About the Role
We’re looking for someone with experience of policy development, who can research a topic using a variety of different sources and consider policy approaches towards it. You will need strong writing skills to convey what you think and, ideally, you’ll also have some experience of working on public consultations.
About Us:
ARB is an independent professional regulator, established by Parliament as a statutory body, through the Architects Act, in 1997. We are accountable to government.
- The law gives us a number of core functions:
- To ensure only those who are suitably competent are allowed to practise as architects. We do this by approving the architecture qualifications required to join the Register of architects.
- We maintain a publicly available Register of architects so anyone using the services of an architect can be confident that they are suitably qualified and are fit to practise.
- We set the standards of conduct and practice the profession must meet and take action when any architect falls below the required standards of conduct or competence.
- We set requirements for and monitor the continuous professional development that architects must undertake, to provide assurance to the public about the continuing competence of the profession.
- We protect the legally restricted title ‘architect’.
We want a world in which the built environment inspires those who live and work in it, reflects the needs of society so that people are safe and can live well, and helps to tackle the fundamental challenges our planet faces.
The contribution that regulation can make to this overarching purpose may be small, but we recognise that architects and other professionals in the built environment can achieve their own goals, potential and outcomes only if we are delivering effective regulation.
What we offer in return:
- A friendly and supportive company culture
- Pension and medical cover
- Great holiday allowance, plus an additional day to be used over the Christmas period.
Here at ARB, we are a small and diverse workforce we want to create a genuinely inclusive workplace, where we embrace the differences of all our colleagues and celebrate diversity. We love to see applications from underrepresented groups and welcome applications from individuals, regardless of their background.
Best of luck with your application.
Please submit your application by 16th January 2025, 12pm.
