Main Duties/ Responsibilities
Person Specification:
This position will involve wide public engagement and would suit someone who enjoys meeting and working with a variety of people. The ideal candidate would have a strong interest in built heritage and/or history, and be able to evidence this through, for example, previous volunteering experience, work experience or previous study. The project will be fast paced, and will require excellent time-management to meet project milestones, and the ability to multitask. The candidate will be using a number of different platforms and technologies to record and host content and project outputs, therefore strong IT skills are essential, but the role also offers opportunities for creativity and collaboration. Research will play a big role in delivery of project outputs and supporting the different groups involved in the project, therefore strong research skills are desirable. Whilst previous experience of working on heritage projects is desirable, it is not essential; therefore, the role may suit a recent graduate, or someone wishing to enter the heritage sector as part of their career development or a career change.
All candidates are encouraged to support the values of CITB NI, which are available in our supporting information.
