ADVERTISE YOUR JOBS WITH THE IHBC
IHBC Director Sean O’Reilly said: ‘Our IHBC NewsBlog updates on the diverse career opportunities in heritage, conservation and related areas posted on the IHBC Jobs etc service continue to demonstrate the huge variety of roles that employers are looking to us to help fill.’
‘Any IHBC NewsBlog or IHBC Jobs etc. listing ranges widely across sectors, skills, employers, locations and roles, but all have one special consideration in common: to secure the person they need, they target IHBC members and their skills, and our wide-ranging networks too.’
‘Senior management skills are more prominent in the private sector this round: RPS is calling for a Director/Senior Director – Built Heritage; AOC Archaeology Group for a Buildings Archaeologist – Senior Project Officer, while Arup seeks a Senior Conservation Architect.’
‘As usual, the private sector does also call for mid-range and technical skills, with Purcell seeking a Heritage Consultant & Assistant Heritage Consultants, Marrons an Assistant Heritage Planner, while we also see a less familiar call from Bidwells for an Architectural Technologist.’
‘Councils, rightly, remain a core provider of heritage and conservation services. Harborough and Somerset councils each seek Conservation Officers, as does High Peak and Staffordshire Moorlands. Other councils seek more nuanced variations in skills, all and any of which would sensibly look to IHBC accreditation: Newark & Sherwood seeks a Planner – Conservation & Planner Development, and the Isle of Man, an Assistant, Registered or Senior Registered Buildings Officer.’
‘Churches also are looking to build capacity, as the Dioceses of Gloucester seeks a Church Buildings Support Officer and Worcester a Project Support Officer. Charity bodies are also represented here, as Snodhill Castle Preservation Trust (SCPT) seeks a freelance Project management lead.
‘Despite the lower numbers of opportunities than past rounds, all these postings confirm just how cost-effective the IHBC’s Jobs etc service actually is for a sector that is invariably populated by price-sensitive employers.’
‘The postings also re-affirm the public interest priorities that include the complex role of historic fabric and its care in securing our collective futures, from supporting communities to managing carbon.’
‘Individually too, the posts capture the exceptionally wide spectrum of relevant roles encompassed by the IHBC’s accreditation model, the IHBC Areas of Competence, and the skills represented there.’
‘To find out more on such matters, our MATE and related sessions support accreditation, while they also delve into the IHBC’s Competences and Conservation Cycle. As such they help applicants’ align their skills to the principles we use to assess interdisciplinary competence, all in line with national and international conservation practice standards.’
