IHBC Director Sean O’Reilly said: ‘Our IHBC NewsBlog posts regularly review the diverse career opportunities in heritage, conservation and related areas, all posted on our IHBC Jobs etc service.’
‘This round once again demonstrates the variety of roles that employers are looking to the IHBC for help to fill. They recognise the same service standards and values capture in our Charter-linked discussions, centred on delivering public benefit by supporting interdisciplinary conservation practice in the built and historic environment.
‘As our professional focus is on interdisciplinary conservation practice, in line with our exploration of a petition for Charter, we both demand and support cross-discipline and cross-sector engagement, and this which ensures our wide reach.’
‘Our success in supporting members’ conservation practice and networks also means that our Jobs etc service can reach far beyond our specialist core network. That success also means that our model of conservation skills and competence – the IHBC’s Conservation Cycle – can play critical role in employers’ evaluation of the abilities and the potential of candidates.’
‘So, as regular readers of these NewsBlogs know, career opportunities on the IHBC Jobs etc. service typically range widely across sectors, skills, employers, locations and roles. However all reflect a common objective: to secure the right person for the post. They also share a strategy: targeting IHBC members, their skills and our wide-ranging networks on our unique, service focussed employmentservice.
IHBC Jobs etc advertisers and subscribers see the value in both standards and reach, especially when underpinned by our targeted and responsive user service: • dedicated full webpage advert • customised emails to nearly 3K subscribers • IHBC Jobs etc homepage posting with logo • IHBC website homepage with prominent link to IHBC Jobs etc • promotion on IHBC’s social networks (c.33k) • feature posts on IHBC’s ‘NewsBlog’ email alerts (c.3K subscribers) • Review of advertisements on IHBC’s NewsBlogs (subject to service capacity) and • an exclusive feedback service on circulation and social media posts performance.
With a service centred on nearly 3000 practitioner subscribers, we can make sure that our job posts reach the right people, whatever their level, sector or practice area.
You can easily see why we are especially proud to welcome the advertised posts listed below.
Our key sector of core users look to conservation professionals working in local government in areas that integrate conservation standards and public benefits around heritage conservation and regeneration. In this round we see such posts from Somerset, Wychavon & Malvern Hills and Huntingdonshire Councils all seeking a Conservation Officer. And as a reminder on the team role within which Conservation Officers can also be required to operate, we see also West Suffolk Council’s call for a Principal Conservation Officer and a Senior Conservation Officer.
Widening this focus from conservation to encompass heritage, we have Leeds City Council’s calls for a Principal Heritage Officer and a Senior Heritage Officer, as well as the post at the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority of Senior Heritage Officer (Building Conservation).
The IHBC’s interdisciplinary role and cross-sector reach is captured in wider asset management posts, from regulatory roles and asset care and maintenance, to regeneration. This round we see these roles reflected in posts ranging from church works to the private sector.
For churches, Gloucester Cathedral’s call for Head of Fabric & Property highlights that asset care role for conservation. At the same time the Parish of Wanstead’s Christ Church notice of a Tender reflects the commercial side of such work. And it is also worth noting that this type of job also carried, for free, on our commercial HESPR members’ service, linked below.
Our private sector standing and network across quality-focussed yet cost-conscious private sector users of the Jobs etc service is also clear this round. So we see James Mackintosh Architects calling for a Senior Architect / Architectural Technician; Place Services seeking a Built Heritage Consultant; Donald Insall Associates advertising for a Heritage Consultant/Senior Heritage Consultant; LUC looking for a Historic Environment Consultant / Senior Consultant and Buttress’s search for an Historic Building Surveyor.
‘And as the suite of roles above all 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: 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.’
