Who you are
You are a self-motivated and hard-working team member with a can-do attitude who is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. Team spirit and excellent customer service runs throughout everything you do from timely communication with and support of colleagues, to the satisfaction of a job well done when helping members and building relationships. You are keen to develop your skills in event, project and volunteer management, whilst increasing your confidence presenting at online and in person events. Your interest in regeneration, heritage and sustainability in the built environment is evident as is your willingness to help those who are rescuing, restoring and reusing older buildings.
Role
This is an opportunity for a person seeking to start their career in heritage (such as a college or apprenticeship leaver, recent graduate or returner to work) to gain valuable experience in the community heritage sector by supporting Resilient Networks. The post-holder will be responsible for supporting all aspects of Heritage Network activity in Scotland.
The post will be available each year in 2026/27, 2027/28, and 2028/29. We encourage applications from those who are located in Scotland, who will undertake this post as their sole employment, and who have a demonstrable interest in built heritage (through personal interest, volunteering, work or study). This post is a starting point for someone wishing to enter the heritage and community driven regeneration sectors, those with an established career in heritage will not be considered.
Feedback from our 2023/24 Heritage Trainee (Scotland):
“I thoroughly enjoyed my traineeship with the Heritage Network. I had the opportunity to try so many new things and really developed my skills in a lot of areas and grew in confidence.
I took on new responsibilities and felt supported by the team to carry out projects. I feel like this opportunity has greatly increased my ability to get a career in the heritage sector. The skills I developed were used to get a new job in the sector straight away!”
