The Scottish Government (SG) is now looking to appoint a Chair and up to eleven Members to the Board of Historic Environment Scotland (HES), with applications to be received by Friday 12 September.
The Scottish Government writes:
HES is the new lead organisation for the historic environment in Scotland. It will be established by the Historic Environment Scotland Bill currently being considered by the Scottish Parliament and combines the functions, staff and assets of Historic Scotland and the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland (RCAHMS). Its role will be to investigate, care for and promote Scotland’s historic environment and to manage its collections as a national resource for reference, study and research.
In bringing together the skills, experience and functions of the previous organisations to create this new body, Scottish Ministers have charged HES to work with partners from across the sector and beyond to implement Scotland’s first Historic Environment Strategy, Our Place in Time. This important document sets out a shared, sector-wide strategy to ensure Scotland’s historic environment is understood, valued, cared for, protected and enhanced.
We are seeking applications from people from a range of backgrounds who want to contribute to the development of this new organisation and feel they have the skills required.
