This is an exciting new role made possible by National Lottery Heritage funding and requiring a dynamic, proactive and reliable individual. Reporting to the Chief Executive and Head of Policy and Communications, the role incorporates a wide range of exciting communications, public affairs and policy tasks. Applicants should be able to demonstrate strong writing, website, editorial skills, communication and administrative skills.

Experience working with the media, managing events and meetings is desirable. Whilst a demonstrable interest in heritage policy is important, direct experience across heritage policy areas is not essential; the successful candidate will possess the skills needed to quickly acquire technical knowledge. Similarly, a good understanding of the independent heritage movement and politics/Government is desirable but not essential.

This is a 24 month contract with a three month probationary period. The closing date for applications is 1st May 2019 with interviews expected a week later.
