What you will be doing

Sector Resilience and Skills Department exists to build greater resilience in the heritage sector. We aim for a sector that can withstand both existing and new threats, and which can grow and stay relevant.

Working with colleagues in the Sector Resilience and Skills Department, across Historic England, and with some external partners you will promote the use of existing Online Communities of practice and learning communities. Principally these are on the Heritage Workspace¹ network, open to all working in the heritage sector, but you may also work with other platforms such as LinkedIn or Facebook. You will help the sector to work better togather, to identify good and consistent practice, to adopt new practices and to build partnerships between sector practitioners across many heritage specialist subject areas. As part of this duty, you will:

  • Plan activities such as topical discussions to engage community members and encourage use of the community tools and options, integrating with Historic England’s training offer, aligning the purpose of the community with corporate and sector priorities.

  • Advise other community managers in the sector on good practice, particularly through the existing Heritage Workspace Facilitators Community.

  • Take part in and lead discussion on relevant Online Communities.

  • Monitor and report on what is working and what needs to change.

  • Where needed, moderate discussion or escalate complaints or flagged content appropriately.

A particular focus for these activities in the current planning period is:

  • A new project to develop an online learning community for local authority heritage staff. This will complement training courses about climate change and about planning applications that need to be considered by local authority and Historic England staff to adopt heritage sites and buildings to a changing climate. We want the decisions about these applications to be made consistently and in line with new guidance we will publish shortly. You will be working with a contracted in community manager on this project in the first few months.

  • Maintaining and growing engagement in an existing open community for all heritage practitioners, ‘Heritage Connects’, currently with c.320 members.

You will be one of a team of Heritage Workspace ‘Network Managers’. You will support the setup of new groups on Heritage Workspace as requested, ensuring that the purpose of new groups is documented and that they have a plan for development in line with our procedures, so that resources are focussed on genuinely useful groups.

You will contribute to communication plans and activities to raise awareness of Historic England’s sector support options, including training courses, guidance etc so that sector practitioners are directed to the most useful and relevant sources of help and advice.
. Contribute to action plans for future development of particular Online Communities arising from the recommendations of these reviews.

You will contribute to the development and promotion of other online resources to help develop the resilience of the heritage sector.

In the current planning period these include:

  • An online wiki good practice guide for the managers of Historic Environment Record databases in local authorities called ‘Informing the Future of the Past’.

  • Online databases of useful resources (e.g. guidance publications, templates for writing reports or other documents, case studies of what has worked in the past) . This will contribute to the work of the Skills Forum, and Heritage Sector Resilience Plan priority actions which call for the setup of resource hubs.

  • Blogs aimed at professionals within the sector (currently from Historic England library).

This role is suitable for remote or hybrid working. However, some travel will be required to attend team and corporate events within England.
