IHBC Director Sean O\u2019Reilly said: \u2018Our NewsBlog updates on career opportunities posted on the \u2018IHBC Jobs etc.<\/em><\/a>\u2019 service demonstrate the huge variety of roles that employers are looking to us to help fill.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Any NewsBlog Jobs etc.<\/em> update ranges widely across sectors, skills, employers, locations and roles, but all have one special consideration in common: they target IHBC members, their skills and our networks to secure the right profile they need, of skills, knowledge and experience in conservation and related discipline and roles.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018The current round of postings highlights the need both for strategic advisory roles and on-the-ground practice and support-focussed skills in building and area conservation. These range from the Canal & River Trust: Head of Heritage & Collections and Cadw\u2018s Historic buildings Inspector (North Wales) to the National Churches Trust: Support Officers, one each for Scotland, Wales & North-West England.\u00a0 At the same time Stirling City Heritage Trust seeks both a Grants & Education Officer (Retrofit) and a \u2018Building Professional or Craftsperson\u2019 while the Landmark Trust has advertised for a Building Maintenance Co-ordinator.<\/p>\n

All demonstrate how a strategic posting of roles can add further value to the already cost-effective service offered by the IHBC\u2019s Jobs etc<\/em> \u00a0service\u2019.\u00a0 Clearly no other heritage and conservation career planning platform offers such a diverse yet relevant options for conservation and heritage practitioners and advisors at all levels seeking career change and progress.\u2019<\/p>\n

Public bodies are naturally especially well aware of the public benefit and interest embodied in the IHBC\u2019s practice and ethical standards, as represented by our regular features on calls from Councils.\u00a0 This round includes West Lindsey (Townscape Heritage Delivery Coordinator \u2013 Levelling Up Fund); Rochdale \u2018s Building Manager for Rochdale Town Hall, posts at Mid Devon and Reading for Conservation Officers, Wyre Forest District Council and Surrey County Council.<\/p>\n

The Letchworth Heritage Foundation\u2019s role of Assistant Design Development Officer also ties together those complex threads of skills and experience for early conservation-linked career interests.<\/p>\n

\u2018The diversity of all these conservation-linked roles highlights the many pressures on places and their building stock, their care and significance.\u00a0 The use of the IHBC\u2019s service also confirms wider recognition of the complex role of historic fabric and its care in securing our collective futures, from supporting communities to managing carbon.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018The private sector is of course responsible for the care and curation of the vast majority of our heritage resources. So it is as ever both gratifying and heartening to see our networks\u2019 regard for our standards from more commercially-focussed operations.\u00a0 For this round that recognition is marked by Burrell Foley Fischer\u2019s call for a Conservation Architect and HCUK Group\u2019s call for a Heritage Consultant.<\/p>\n

All that said, the scale of posts on our \u2018<\/em>Jobs etc<\/em><\/a>\u2019<\/em> \u00a0<\/em>service<\/em> just now is clearly less dramatic than in more recent years, reflecting as it does the wider economic downturn.\u00a0 However these posts still capture the exceptionally wide spectrum of relevant roles encompassed by the IHBC\u2019s accreditation model, the IHBC Areas of Competence<\/a>, and the skills represented there.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018To find out more on such matters, our MATE<\/a>\u00a0 and related sessions support accreditation, while they also delve into the IHBC\u2019s Competences and Conservation Cycle.\u00a0 As such they help applicants\u2019 align their skills to the principles we use to assess interdisciplinary competence, all in line with national and international conservation practice standards<\/a>.\u2019<\/p>\n
