What you will be doing

Heritage at Risk Project Officers (HARPOs) sit within Partnerships Teams in each of our Regional offices. These specialist teams manage the Heritage at Risk Register, distribute grants, undertake research, and contribute to place-shaping work across the Region. They work with stakeholders and communities to find creative solutions to heritage at risk and bring about the regeneration of places by using their expertise in architectural history, project management, community engagement, fundraising, and conservation.

HARPOs provide expert advice on the planning, funding and delivery of heritage at risk projects across the range of asset types in the London & SE Region; this post has a specific focus on London. Applying the ‘constructive conservation’ ethos they work closely with owners, local authorities and partner agencies, and with local communities and other stakeholders, to negotiate effective projects, identify funding and facilitate consents. They report on project progress, update the Heritage at Risk (HAR) Register, and contribute to public promotion of heritage at risk cases and themes. HARPOs work with our HAR Architects/Surveyors in overseeing complex HAR Repair Grant funded projects, and lead on Capacity Building grants to stakeholder organisations.

N.B.

Please note that the role requires very occasional travel to sites not serviced by public transport.

The role may require visiting/inspecting sites which are likely to require climbing scaffolding and negotiating confined spaces.

The role will require occasional attendance at community meetings which are usually held at evenings or weekends.

What we are looking for

  • A degree or equivalent in a relevant discipline
  • A working knowledge of the historic environment and its assets
  • Good knowledge of the principles and practices of building conservation
  • Good negotiating and influencing skills
  • Good oral and written communication skills
  • Excellent team-working skills

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. Having just won the Gold Award from MIND, we also recognise the importance of a healthy work-life balance.

We are an inclusive employer and believe that flexible working options are for everyone. We want to make sure our working arrangements don’t prevent anyone from joining us because of their personal circumstances. We also want to provide you with the best balance in your home and work life that we can.

We are open to considering options including job sharing, part-time working, compressed hours working and different working locations, including hybrid working. Please visit our jobs pages or contact us to find out more.
