Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Reviewers – Lay and Architect Members

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Reviewers – Lay and Architect Members

The Architects Registration Board (ARB) is the statutory regulator of architects in the UK, under the terms of the Architects Act 1997. Through the Building Safety Act 2022, ARB has the duty of monitoring the training and development that architects complete throughout their careers, which we do through a continuing professional development (CPD) scheme for all architects. As a CPD Reviewer you will evaluate architects’ CPD records for quality assurance and compliance purposes. You will review their anonymised records, to ensure they are following the scheme, and you will provide guidance on how they can improve their approach to their CPD.

We are looking for both lay and architect candidates that have an interest in professional regulation, may have worked in lecturing, training or tutoring roles in an academic or professional setting, have experience of working within a CPD context but are able to review documentation and information against defined review criteria. Architect candidates must be registered with ARB.

Time commitment: up to 10 hours per month

Term of Engagement: Four-year term, with the possibility of reappointment for a further four years

Remuneration: £440 per day

We will be running information sessions on Wednesday 11th and Monday 16th September 2024.

The closing date is 23rd September 2024.  We will contact you once short-listing has been completed to advise you of the outcome of your application by no later than 30th September 2024.

We anticipate interviews will take place during the period of 7th to 16th October 2024.

We particularly welcome applications from candidates from diverse backgrounds and under-represented groups. ARB embraces differences of colleagues and those that work with us and celebrate diversity.  Such candidates often only apply for roles they believe they are a perfect match for, but at ARB it’s your attitude and desire to build upon your existing knowledge and skills that matter most, so please do apply even if you feel you don’t tick every box. 

No agencies please.
