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

IHBC Director Sean O\u2019Reilly said: \u2018Our IHBC NewsBlog updates on the diverse career opportunities in heritage, conservation and related areas posted on the IHBC Jobs etc<\/em><\/a> service continue to demonstrate the huge variety of roles that employers are looking to us to help fill.  And this round demonstrates that variety like never before!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Any IH<\/em>BC Jobs<\/em> etc.<\/em> listing ranges widely across sectors, skills, employers, locations and roles, but all have one special strategy in common: to secure the person they need, they target IHBC members and their skills, and our wide-ranging networks too.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018However this NewsBlog<\/em> summary is marked especially by the huge range of roles coming to us, all happily resting within \u2013 and looking to \u2013 the IHBC\u2019s Conservation Cycle model of skills.  Tying together our Competences and Areas of Competence, this forms the foundation of our far-reaching interdisciplinary accreditation programme.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the current round of non-standard posts and roles, the Estate Officer roles with the Churches Conservation Trust (x2) are, most unusually, the most familiar!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018A more fabric-focussed aspect of such curatorial roles is represented by Windsor Castle\u2019s call for a Building Maintenance Supervisor for St George\u2019s Chapel, and Tewkesbury Abbey\u2019s call for a Fabric Officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more project-oriented side of curatorial, fabric-focussed conservation-led roles is highlighted in the Tender issued by The Diocese of London for a Community Development Plan Consultant, as well as the Client Project from Mount Zion Apostolic Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reaching cross those practice areas, we also have roles that demonstrate the increasing interest in the \u2018wider world\u2019 in seeing the skills sets of IHBC members and their networks as the answer to their most substantial challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here the call by the Diocese of Salisbury for a Net Zero Decarbonisation Officer \u2013 ongoing – represents one end of that spectrum, with its environmentally-led priorities.  In contract, Lewisham\u2019s posting on its Design Review Panel looks much more to the place-management interfaces, around design and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In itself this suite of roles offers rare – and compact – insight into how our service helps make a real impact on conservation-related matters.  Happily, we are still seeing strong presence by the core users of our service, not least around public service calls for conservation roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our accreditation still successfully underpins to our quality assurance in conservation in Councils, even with their increasingly diverse skills and roles.  Though such posts are less prominent this round, they are tied to different levels of skills as Tower Hamlets seeks a Conservation Officer;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waverley a Senior Conservation Officer and, in its role as a service provider, the South West Heritage Trust is calling for an Assistant Conservation Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The private sector too is relatively quiet this round, but still varied, as Janus Conservation seeks a Residential Building Surveyor (Historical Buildings Specialist), RPS continues searches across Senior, Associate Director and Director roles in Built Heritage and Donald Insall Associates calls for an Architect\/Senior Architect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Despite the lower numbers of opportunities than past rounds, all these postings confirm just how cost-effective the IHBC\u2019s Jobs etc<\/em> service actually is for a sector that is invariably populated by price-sensitive employers.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018As noted above, this suite of postings re-affirms 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\n\n\n

\u2018Individually too, theses posts capture the exceptionally wide spectrum of relevant roles encompassed by the IHBC\u2019s accreditation model, the IHBC\u2019s Conservation Cycle and our IHBC Areas of Competence<\/a>, and the skills represented there.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018To find out more on such matters, our MATE<\/a>  and related sessions will help you secure IHBC accreditation, guiding you on how to align your skills, knowledge and experience with the principles we use to assess interdisciplinary competence, in line with national and international conservation practice standards<\/a>.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
