English Heritage is launching an exciting new training scheme in October 2008. Trainees will be placed within our regional teams across the country and will gain experience in the application of professional conservation management skills in a planning and development context. The Traineeships will be for a period of two years and up to ten places are available.
As a Trainee you will receive high-quality training in historic environment management, enabling you to enhance both the depth of your specialist knowledge and the breadth of your inter-disciplinary skills. Work units may include some part-release secondment or work shadowing to relevant organisations. In the second year you will undertake a project, on a subject of value to you and the sector as a whole.
The HET Scheme aims to provide increased capacity for the sector and at the end of your training you should be ready to meet the challenges presented within a local authority or one of the many other agencies and organisations managing the historic environment.
Applying for the scheme
Ideally, you will have a first degree in a relevant subject such as archaeology, history, conservation, planning, urban design or environmental sciences, and/or substantial practical work experience in a heritage discipline (such as archaeology, specialist planning or buildings’ history). You may be looking for an opportunity to diversify into a new branch of the profession or to enhance skills you have already gained.
- Appointments will be made on a two-year fixed term basis. Salary from £18,500 p.a. with an additional allowance of £2,316 p.a. for Trainees based in London.
- English Heritage values diversity and aims to employ people who reflect this.
