… Non-profit and public services ….engaged with the principles of public benefit and interest embodied in the IHBC’s practice and ethical standards…
IHBC Director Sean O’Reilly said: ‘Our NewsBlog updates on career opportunities posted on the ‘IHBC Jobs etc.’ service capture the huge variety of roles that employers are looking to us to fill.’
‘Any NewsBlog update ranges widely across sectors, skills, employers, locations and role. All have one special consideration in common: they reach across our members and networks as they seek the right profile of competences in the no less diverse practice of conservation.’
More recent jobs range from Jersey’s ‘Senior Planner (Historic Environment)’; Historic England’s ‘Inspector of Historic Buildings and Areas’ and the South Downs National Park’s Conservation Officer to Canterbury Cathedral’s Archaeological Consultant. Heritage Lincolnshire’s suite of roles – extending from ‘Project Manager’ to ‘Communications’ – shows well how a strategic posting of roles can add further value to the already cost-effective service offered by the IHBC’s Jobs etc. service’.
‘Clearly no other career planning platform offers such a diverse, but relevant, range of options for specialists to apply conservation skills, knowledge and experience in the profession.’
Non-profit and public services are naturally especially well engaged with the principles of public benefit and interest embodied in the IHBC’s practice and ethical standards. These are evident in South Oxfordshire District Council’s call for a Conservation Officer (Maternity Cover); the Buildings Adviser sought by the London Diocesan Fund (LDF); the Closed Churches Officer that the Diocese of Leeds is calling for, the Diocese of Llandaff’s Church Buildings Inspector and the Diocese of Exeter’s Church Buildings Officer. The use of our service by the London Quakers Property Trust with their call for a Chartered Building Surveyor also reflects that public awareness.
‘All these reflect the sector’s many pressures, especially on the ecclesiastical and related building stock and sectors. The use fo the service also confirms a recognition the complex role of historic fabric in securing our collective futures, from supporting communities to managing captured carbon.’
‘The private sector is of course responsible for the care and curation of the vast majority of our heritage resources. So it is both gratifying and heartening to see our members and networks’ regard for our standards with the strong performance on the Jobs etc services from more commercially-drive operations.’
‘We see that commitment in the posts from Manorwood, and its call for a Planning Consultant (Heritage led); RPS’s call for a Consultant (different grade options); Vitruvius Heritage’s call for an Associate; Place Services’ search for a ‘Built Heritage Consultant’ and Hutton + Rostron’s call for a ‘Specialist Building Surveyor’.
‘Clearly all our ‘Jobs etc’ posts reflect the exceptionally wide spectrum of relevant roles encompassed by the IHBC’s accreditation model, the IHBC Areas of Competence, and the skills represented there.’
‘To find out more on such matters, our MATE and related sessions support accreditation, while they also delve into the IHBC’s Competences and Conservation Cycle. As such they help applicants’ align their skills to the principles we use to assess interdisciplinary competence, all in line with national and international conservation practice standards.’
