ADVERTISE YOUR JOBS WITH THE IHBC<\/a><\/p>\n

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 competence, knowledge and experience in conservation and related discipline and roles.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018The current round of postings highlights the need both for high-level management and strategic advisory roles as well as on-the-ground practice and support-focussed skills in building and area conservation.<\/p>\n

For example senior managements skills are sought at Haverfordwest Heritage and its Chief Executive Officer tole, and The Victorian Society for its Director (original salary revised).<\/p>\n

At the same time property and estate management continues to loom large, with the National Trust\u2019s call for two Regional Curators, as well as Tewkesbury Abbey\u2019s for an Estates Manager.<\/p>\n

Interestingly too, our service is now also reaching beyond formal employment roles with the Tender for Quantity Surveying Services from The Diocese of London, following on from a previous one (Mercure Leicester \u2018Tender\u2019.<\/p>\n

Another interesting variant seeking access to the IHBC\u2019s networks, services and skills is The City of London\u2019s call for Principal Planning Officer (Design), which clearly acknowledges the high standing design takes in the suite of skills and competences needed in the IHBC\u2019s accreditation models.<\/p>\n

However in this round the usual national and local regulatory and advisory employers are looking to more traditional conservation roles in the posts advertised.\u00a0 In these, obviously, the core skills profiles map perfectly to the more familiar, diverse and interdisciplinary standards in the IHBC\u2019s skills models.\u2019<\/p>\n

For examples Historic England\u2019s posts currently include a fabric-focussed role of Senior Building Conservation Advisor, the more advisory Inspector of Historic Buildings and Areas (x2) as well as Architectural Investigator, with its more exploratory and heritage-oriented focus.<\/p>\n

Councils too both extend and reflect that diversity of positions and skills, as Liverpool City seeks a Heritage Officer, Herefordshire a Building Conservation Officer and Wallingford a \u2018Head of Parks and Estates\u2019, also noted in a previous update here, and Greater Cambridge Shared Planning seeks a Principal Conservation Officer.<\/p>\n

Clearly local and central government continue to look to the IHBC for the right range of skills and levels for critical management and advisory posts.<\/p>\n

The wider NGO and non-profit sectors also see the value of the IHBC\u2019s employment networks and services: as Hastings Commons, for community led regeneration, seeks a Heritage Strategy Manager; the SPAB seeks a Casework Officer (South and East of England) and, on behalf of Bath World Heritage Sites Advisory Board, Bath and North East Somerset seeks a Chair on for a voluntary role.<\/p>\n

\u2018All these postings demonstrate just how cost-effective the IHBC\u2019s Jobs etc<\/em> service\u2019 actually is for a very diverse spread of very cost-conscious employers.\u00a0 They also re-affirm the public interest priorities that include the complex role of historic fabric and its care in securing our collective futures, from supporting communities to managing carbon.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Of course the 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 Place Services is the lead employer, as it seeks a Built Heritage Consultant and Assistant Built Heritage Consultant.<\/p>\n

The scale of posts on our \u2018IHBC<\/em>Jobs etc<\/em><\/a>\u2019<\/em> \u00a0service<\/em> captures 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
