Amplifying the voice of the Cannington Shaw Heritage Skills Academy
We have an exciting opportunity to join our team at Groundwork as Digital Media Officer at Cannington Shaw Heritage Skills Academy, where you'll be at the heart of our mission to preserve and promote heritage skills. We are seeking someone with creativity and passion who will help us reach new audiences and inspire the next generation.
At its height, Cannington Shaw was the largest glass bottle maker in the world. All that now remains is the # 7 Bottle Shop – a fine example of what was once one of the first regenerative tank furnaces in the world. Derelict since closure of the works in the 1980s, it is now badly overgrown, with considerable structural deterioration. The site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, Grade II Listed, and on the Heritage at Risk Register since 2002.
In the ownership of the Cannington Shaw Preservation Trust, the site is about to undergo a transformation as the first phase in restoring the building begins thanks to a £1.3m grant from the St Helens Town Deal.
A partner in the process, Groundwork Cheshire, Lancashire and Merseyside are leading on a project to develop and deliver a Heritage Skills Academy that aims to link the opportunities presented by the conservation and restoration of the building with local people wishing to develop their skills – with a particular focus on heritage construction skills.
This role is designed to provide practical hands-on experience of working on a live heritage project, allowing the successful applicant to develop their experience of partnership working – as well as a wide range of heritage skills, crafts, and techniques.
What We're Looking For
A Creative Spark: A passion for crafting compelling content that tells our story.
Excellent Communication: The ability to convey our message clearly and effectively.
Digital Savvy: A strong understanding of social media and digital marketing.
A Great Mindset: A good work ethic and a willingness to learn and adapt to the ever-changing digital landscape.
If you think you've got what we're looking for, we'd like to hear from you.
