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 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 captured in our Charter-linked discussions: delivering public benefit by supporting competence in conservation practice across the built and historic environment, as well as personal benefits, by highlighting the degree to which IHBC credentials can help your career, whatever your discipline or level.
‘As our core focus is on interdisciplinary built and historic conservation, we both demand and support cross-discipline and cross-sector engagement.’
‘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.’
‘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 as they target IHBC members, their skills and our wide-ranging networks.
Advertisers and subscribers see the value too, including 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 this service we can make sure that our job posts reach the right people, whatever their level, sector or practice area. And the jobs advertised confirm that.
Two posts that represent the wide impact at government and national levels this round are the high-level role in Cadw, of Chief Inspector of Historic Buildings and Monuments, and English Heritage’s call for a Building Conservation Manager. Complementing these, at a more local level and with a different employment model, is the Consultant Tender from Lochwinnoch Community Development Trust (LCDT) for a Heritage Activity and Interpretation Consultant. That captures another take on how our Jobs etc service – and IHBC credentials – can benefit your career, whatever you specialism.
Thers’s many others too, especially from our key sector of core users in local government. These also reach across a range of areas that impact on conservation standards and public benefit, notably in heritage regulation around conservation and regeneration. In this round we see such posts at North Warwickshire, calling for a Heritage and Conservation Assistant; Cheshire, for a Heritage and Conservation Officer, and Winchester and its call for a Historic Environment Officer (Conservation).
Widening this focus from conservation to encompass heritage more generally, and also of the breadth of employers, is the call for a Head of Property and Facilities from St Albans Cathedral, as we see an church body seeking facilities management competence with core conservation skills.
Similarly, the University of Oxford’s Compliance Surveyor and Building Surveyor posts reflect the breadth of careers relevant to our discipline, even when not core to it. As such they show again the IHBC’s interdisciplinary focus and cross-sector reach.
‘Moving into the private sector the astute employer interest in our service for proportionate competence at all career stages is captured by TCMS Heritage’s calls for a Senior Heritage Consultant / Associate Director; Place Services’ post for an Assistant Built Heritage Consultant / Built Heritage Consultant; Node’s for a Senior Heritage & Townscape Consultant and Purcell for a Senior / Associate Heritage Consultant.’
‘This suite of roles all re-affirm the core public interest priorities that underpin this IHBC service. But 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 that are, and can be, represented there.’
‘To find out more on our accreditation standards and processes, our MATE and related sessions are designed help career-focussed, conservation-conscious practitioners secure IHBC accreditation, and at minimal cost. These events 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.’
