What You Will Be Doing
Partnerships teams are one of several specialist teams located in Historic England’s regional offices. They are principally responsible for the delivery of HE’s discretionary services for and with local partners in places.

* Will require occasional attendance at community meetings, which are usually held at evenings or weekends.
Who We Are Looking For
Professional qualification in architecture or building surveying, with current ARB registration or chartered RICS membership and accreditation in building conservation or working towards the above accreditations.
Extensive wide-ranging experience of the repair of historic buildings and in project management.
Good working knowledge of English secular and ecclesiastical architecture of all periods.
Excellent knowledge of historic building construction, current conservation practice, and a wide range of methods for the repair, alteration, and adaptation of historic buildings.
Ability to approach repair problems and possible solutions in a practical and creative way.
Good working knowledge of the implications of current construction industry regulation in relation to historic buildings and monuments.
We are an equal opportunity employer which values diversity and inclusion. If you have a disability or neurodiversity, we would be happy to discuss reasonable adjustments to the job with you. We also recognise the importance of a healthy work-life balance.
