Overview
We are currently recruiting for a Landscape Architect to join our Placemaking and Design team at the Canal & River Trust. Reporting to the Principal Landscape Architect, you’ll be part of a small but high-performing national team of landscape architects and architects, creating and influencing great waterside places, whilst helping to shape and secure the future of our canal network across England and Wales.
The diverse nature of the Trust’s network, and the range of activities, users and stakeholders that use our waterways, presents unique opportunities for landscape architects to work within our Customer and Place Division, and across our multidisciplinary charity.
We design and influence new waterway and waterside places; enhancing the waterways, creating great waterside places, and connecting our canals to wider neighbourhoods and communities. We develop propositions along the Trust’s waterway network, understanding the heritage and tradition, but also ensuring canals remain relevant through thoughtful, creative and innovative design. Our work takes a place-based approach to create sustainable and valued relationships between communities and their canals.
This is a national role, across our canals in England and Wales. The role has home working status, with Trust ‘hub’ office facilities available across our Regions. An essential part of this role will be a requirement for regular national travel to sites and Trust hubs.

About Canal & River Trust
We're the UK's largest canal charity, looking after 2,000 miles of canals and rivers across England and Wales
From our countryside to our bustling cities, canals are a place for everyone to connect with nature and our past.
However you use them, we all deserve open spaces where we can feel happier and healthier, and where wildlife can thrive. But the future of canals and the habitat they support is threatened by changing temperatures, unpredictable rainfall and the tests of time.
Together, let's make sure they continue to be here for tomorrow and beyond
