With 245 advertisements for jobs in 2015, and a total of £6,034,726 in starting salaries (upper end; 37 posts with no salary noted but estimated at c.£1m) the IHBC Jobs etc service continues to prove itself as a unique, value-for-money service that offers credible, unmatched access to conservation practitioners across an ever-widening practice base, including site and facilities management, building, ‘enabling’ and much more.
IHBC Director Seán O’Reilly said: ‘Not only do we offer great value – including bulk and charity discounts – but the niche we access is getting ever wider as we more regularly encompass new areas seeking dedicated conservation skills: site and facilities management, heritage ‘enabling’, archaeological practice, building, traineeships and more. And this is in addition to our core networks of planners, urban designers, historians, architects and many more’.
‘Sourcing conservation skills through IHBC Jobs etc is, as we say, ‘the best way to reach the professionals you need’’.
‘Of course there are two main reasons employers come to the IHBC: great value and the right networks. For value-conscious employers and trustees these are the two things that count: value for money and ensuring that the opportunity is accessible and transparent.’
‘And we’re also long past the days when trustees or employers can afford to try to save a few pennies on publicity at the cost of credibility, especially when they take on so much responsibility with staff. Our jobs service is here to help organisations respond to this new world. So if you want to see just what we can do for you get in touch and try us out!’
