Recruiting has commenced for the post of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Historic Environment Scotland (HES).
Jane Ryder OBE, Chair, HES, writes:
This is an extraordinary and exciting moment for the historic environment in Scotland as the organisation prepares to take on a new role and responsibilities from 1 October 2015.
Historic Environment Scotland (HES), established by the Historic Environment Scotland Act 2014, brings together two organisations – Historic Scotland and the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historic Monuments of Scotland (RCAHMS) – that have helped to look after our nation’s heritage for over a century.
The new organisation will be the lead body for the historic environment in Scotland, working within the new Historic Environment Strategy ‘Our Place in Time’ and impacting positively on all communities within Scotland.
As the first Chief Executive you will have a unique opportunity to be involved in the creation of a new organisation which will play a lead role in shaping the historic environment in Scotland, and in the lives of Scottish people and visitors alike, for decades to come.
