\"\"To help heritage and conservation careers and employers across the UK, the IHBC regularly updates NewsBlog readers about the diverse career opportunities posted on our \u2018IHBC Jobs etc<\/em><\/a>\u2019<\/em> service, with recent offerings extending from heritage consultant roles in Scotland and across England to planning, archaeology and much more, so sign up for free alerts<\/a> today and \u2018stay in the know\u2019 with the IHBC\u2019s \u2018<\/em>Jobs etc<\/em><\/a>.\u2019 service<\/em>!\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

IHBC Director Sean O\u2019Reilly said: \u2018As part of the usual wide spectrum of roles on our \u2018<\/em>Jobs etc<\/em><\/a>.\u2019<\/em> service, we are currently carrying posts in across the sector that map skills needs to the <\/em>IHBC Areas of Competence<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the public sector we can see Bassetlaw\u2019s Conservation Officer (2 posts, including one temporary),as well as those at Sevenoaks (a senior post), Dudley, and at the New Forest, all representing these broad-ranging skills sets very well.\u00a0 More generic private sector \u2018<\/em>Heritage Consultant\u2019 roles, leaning towards a heritage management focus rather than core conservation practice as such, are represented by posts at Simpson & Brown and at Place Services \u2013 Essex County Council and Locus Consulting (Senior and Junior posts).\u00a0 Aspects of these tie to the Areas of Competence<\/a> in a more specific ways, notably around our Professional, Evaluation and Management Areas of Competence<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Posts more formally rooted in specific aspects of conservation, with more focus on specific conservation skills sets, include those at The Royal Household, which seeks a Building Conservation Manager (and so a building conservation specialism); at AOC Archaeology, for a Buildings Archaeologist\u00a0 (and so boasts a building investigation focus), and at the Diocese of Gloucester, where the Senior Church Buildings Officer would likely be expected to be able to demonstrate a special ecclesiastical interest in conservation matters.<\/p>\n

Ranging more broadly, but still representing specific skills and specialism within the IHBC\u2019s over-arching Areas of Competence<\/a>, Historic England\u2019s Head of Planning Strategy would be expected to have particular skills focussed on spatial and urban issues \u2013 and\u00a0 so mapping\u00a0 to our own Conservation Professional Practice Principles<\/em><\/a> guidance – while Hartlepool\u2019s Townscape Heritage Project Officer role and West Lindsey\u2019s Townscape Heritage Projects Officer & Conservation Officer (possible job share or combination) would need substantial community engagement and project management competences.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Of course any and all roles would benefit from built and historic environment accreditation that aligns with the international conservation\u00a0 standards, notably that provided by the IHBC.\u2019\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
