Further Information
We are looking for a confident communicator with good organisational skills and experience of working alongside volunteers and communities, to lead on the interpretation and engagement elements of our new lead mining heritage project – Land of Lead and Silver.
Subject to successfully securing funding from NLHF for the delivery stage of the project your contract would be extended for a further four years.
Land of Lead and Silver focuses on lead mining heritage of the North Pennines, and on the skills required to record, conserve, maintain and interpret this heritage for future generations. It starts with the stories associated with this heritage and aims to tell these stories in ways which connect with new audiences, building support for this heritage and recruiting volunteers for the future.
The project includes a capital programme of works for heritage at risk, work to engage new audiences, training for volunteers & capacity building for the voluntary sector, all of which will build a developing sense of place in the central North Pennines as the Land of Lead & Silver, & help support a vital visitor economy.
You will assist the Project Manager in the design of the NLHF delivery stage application and undertake preparatory activities which increase engagement with lead mining heritage, build volunteer capacity to manage, interpret and conserve it, and contribute to project design.
You will facilitate a new Interpretation and Engagement advisory group for the project and work with a variety of audiences and partners to develop an innovative Interpretation and Engagement framework which will help us to engage a more diverse audience.
If funding is secured you will have the option to remain in post to deliver the interpretation, engagement and volunteer support elements of the 4-year programme. We have an excellent track record in securing delivery funding following development stages like this.
The post is a temporary contract in the development stage for 15 months but will be extended for a further four years into the delivery stage subject to funding being secured.
We are also running an optional on-line Q&A session for anyone who would like to meet some of the AONB staff team and learn about the project, before deciding whether or not to make an application. This will be held at 5:30pm on Tuesday 23rd August on Zoom. If you would like to be sent the link, please email carly@northpenninesaonb.org.uk
Interviews will be held on Friday 16th September 2022.
For more information about the post and the project please contact Andy Lees andy@northpenninesaonb.org.uk to chat via email or to arrange a call after 14th August 2022.
