Main duties and responsibilities:

1 To undertake the assessment of applications for grant-aided and Heritage at Risk projects, including examining and assessing specifications and drawings, and recommending appropriate action.

2 To take responsibility for our organisation's input into programmes of work at Heritage at Risk sites, supporting area-based grants, and within Heritage Action Zones and other priority places; working creatively with partners to advise and recommend actions on repair and alteration.

3 To work proactively with owners, local authorities, other funding bodies and building preservation trusts to promote a sustainable and viable future for historic assets on the Heritage at Risk Register and help to encourage and facilitate applications for grant-aid, liaising with professional advisers as required.

4 To act as intelligent client in relation to the provision of feasibility studies, options appraisals, specialist advice, cost estimates and contractual arrangements.

5 To monitor grant-aided or commissioned work to confirm that it meets the necessary standard, recommend grant payments, and to undertake post-grant monitoring.

The role may require visiting/inspecting sites where climbing scaffolding and negotiating confined spaces will be necessary.

Our staff work on a hybrid basis. This means once weekly (pro rata) attendance at the Birmingham office, otherwise working at home.
