Contractual hours: 37 Basis: Job category/type: Operations Programme Coordinator - All Ireland Heritage Skills Programme Shared Heritage Futures: An All-Ireland Heritage Skills Programme is a cross-border partnership between five not-for-profit organisations in GB, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, which aims to forward a shared approach to training in and promotion of heritage skills to benefit people and places on the island of Ireland. This project builds on the prestigious All-Ireland Heritage Skills Programme, and applies learnings from this and previous interventions by project partners. The project partners are National Museums Northern Ireland, The King's Foundation, the Heritage Council, Department for Communities Historic Environment Division and CITB NI. The purpose of this project is to increase awareness and availability of heritage skills, to facilitate a more diverse range of participants, attract new entrants and provide a pipeline of candidates for future years of the training programme. This will be achieved through a four stranded approach; industry upskilling, new industry engagement, public engagement and sectoral sustainability. The Programme Coordinator will play a fundamental role in developing and implementing the annual core upskilling programme, branded the All-Ireland Heritage Skills Programme, in line with the proposed programme start date of July 2026, for a period of four years. Each 12-month, full-time course will support 8 individual learners from a broad range of craft disciplines through a programme of industry-based placements, material specific training, intensive residential programmes and work with sector leaders to engage students in specialist short courses. By the end of the project, 32 early career craftspeople will have graduated from the programme, increasing their skills, network and employment opportunities. This will support intangible heritage and ensure that craft skills are available to care for our historic built environment. The Programme Coordinator will report to the Built Heritage and Capital Projects Manager, and will liaise closely with project partners during the early stages of the programme development, ensuring that the programme content builds on the successes of existing relationships and responds to the requirements of funding bodies.
