The IHBC’s ‘Jobs etc’ page has had another exceptional week, as it is currently advertising a range of jobs offering total salaries of some £987,673 – including £180,000 estimated for 6 posts – across 31 full and part-time jobs, and for roles that range from surveying to projects and facilities management as well as more traditional posts such as conservation officers, architects and managers with heritage specialisation.
IHBC Director Seán O’Reilly said: ‘Of course the posts we’re advertising range widely across the specialist jobs market, so no-one should think that it’s not still a tough time for the sector, or that local authority capacity is not continuing to endure its crisis.’
‘For example we’ll have a new Research Note update coming out soon on our monitoring of local authority conservation jobs, carried out by Bob Kindred, our Research Consultant, which will offer a critical perspective on the situation there.’
‘All that said, it is of course great to see that the institute’s members and networks continuing to demonstrate the right skills, knowledge and experience to attract employers. Clearly the advertisers have huge regard for our networks and the way we can help them maintain credible corporate and business credentials, while also recognising the incredibly good value that we offer for our services: all from as little as £280 for charities coming to us direct, including web design!’
