IHBC Director Sean O’Reilly said: ‘Our IHBC NewsBlog posts regularly review the diverse career opportunities in heritage, conservation and related areas, all as posted on our IHBC Jobs etc service. This round continues to demonstrate the ever-increasing variety of roles that employers are looking to us to for help to fill, and the many ways we try to help conservation skills and outcomes.’
‘For our NewsBlog readers here, we are continuing our particular focus on charity jobs, a user group to which we offer our most generous subsidies, from c.25%, and that’s only to start!’
‘As regular readers know, career opportunities on IHBC Jobs etc. typically range widely across sectors, skills, employers, locations and roles. However all reflect a common objective and strategy: in order to secure the person they need, employers target IHBC members, their skills and our wide-ranging networks. That reflects the role the IHBC’s model of conservation skills and competence – our Conservation Cycle – plays in assessing the competences, and the potential, of candidates.’
‘As the current round of posts marks an another uptick in opportunities for our IHBC member networks, I am delighted to highlight again our direct financial support for conservation posts on our service.’
Charity employers in this round that could access the 25% advertising fee subsidies by offering conservation-led roles include SAVE Britain’s Heritage’s Paid Internships; The Royal Parks (TRP)’s Head of Projects – Capital Projects, Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust’s Principal Historic Buildings Officer, The Landmark Trust’s Regional Surveyor / Architect (North & North Wales), Leicester Heritage Buildings Trust’s Heritage Development Trust Project Officer and the National Churches Trust’s posts of Grants Manager and Interim Support Officer (Treasure Ireland Project). As an exempt charity the University of Oxford’s call for a Heritage & Buildings Advisor is also able to access this scale of reduction.
Church bodies advertising directly with us also can access these same charity-linked reductions. Those qualifying this round include Diocese of Lichfield for its call for a DAC Casework Officer (List B) and the Diocese of Gloucester’s call for a Church Buildings Officer.
The IHBC’s subsidised support for conservation doesn’t end with charities. Subject to relevant job titles and job descriptions, we also offer subsidies of up to 10% for ‘jobs specifying conservation and heritage accreditations’. These reductions can be accessed by public and private sector employers.
To start, employers from the public sector and private sectors could access a 10% fee reduction simply based on a role title linked to ‘Conservation’. This time these include calls by the Peak District National Park, for a Building Conservation Officer; Bromsgrove DC and Redditch BC’s post of a Conservation Officer, and Kirklees Council’s Senior Conservation Officer.
With the right specification of conservation, accreditation and skills, public jobs with a more general heritage focus also can qualify for some reductions. So both Plymouth City Council, calling for an Historic Environment Officer and Historic England, seeking an Inspector of Historic Buildings and Areas, could secure reductions.
Private sector employers also may secure reductions subject to job descriptions and specifications. This round these could include RPS’s Built Heritage Team (3 roles), the Fitzwilliam Wentworth Estate’s Assistant Building Surveyor, Place Services’ Built Heritage Consultant, Purcell’s Assistant Heritage Consultant or Heritage Consultant (North), and AB Heritage’s Heritage Consultant or Senior Heritage Consultant.
Of course where employers are members of IHBC’s HESPR scheme, they also get one Jobs etc post free each year (transferable too!), so why not check out which if the above are HESPR members, and look at the scheme to see if it suits you too!
This round of posts offers sound evidence on how our service – and the subsidies it offers – helps make a real impact on conservation-related matters, regardless of sector, disciple or level. At the same time, these postings confirm just how cost-effective the IHBC’s Jobs etc service actually is for anyone smart enough to take advantage.’
‘Our great value is a special strength in a sector that is invariably populated by price-sensitive employers, so please make sure your boss knows to use the IHBC’s Jobs etc. service, and how to get the best value from it.’
‘Just as the roles here re-affirm the core public interest priorities that underpin this IHBC service, they also capture the broad spectrum of roles encompassed by the IHBC’s accreditation model, the IHBC’s Conservation Cycle, our IHBC Areas of Competence, and the skills represented there.’
‘To find out more on our accreditation matters, our MATE and related sessions help career-focussed, conservation-conscious practitioners secure IHBC accreditation at minimal cost. These guide members and networks on how to align their skills, knowledge and experience with the IHBC’s own interdisciplinary assessment of conservation competence, a system aligned with national and international conservation practice standards.’
