About us
Salford City Council is very pleased to be offering the opportunity to work within its Planning Service as its Conservation Officer.
Salford is a city with a rich heritage which is a source of local pride to many in its communities and contributing to the city’s character and identity. Salford is also a place seeing very high levels of growth, which are expected to continue and are an important means of creating a fairer city with more opportunities for our residents. As the pace of growth increases, it is important our plans complement the city’s valuable heritage, so that the changes to Salford are positive and celebrate the city’s history and character.
About the role
The role will report to the Spatial Planning Team Leader but will work across the city council’s development activity and with its partners.
The Conservation Officer would have an important role advising on planning applications and emerging masterplans and planning policies. Further responsibilities would relate to the assessment, review, and management of Salford’s Conservation Areas and Local List of heritage assets.
The city council is in the process of establishing a Heritage Commission to promote the restoration and reuse of heritage assets. The Conservation Officer would provide support to the Heritage Commission Coordinator, particularly providing advice on heritage assets and engaging with external public, private, and community stakeholders.
About you
Your style and approach will reflect our values.
We’re looking for someone who will be enthusiastic about the city and its heritage, and who understands how to align heritage to support a place’s growth. You should have experience engaging and negotiating with a broad range of partners to secure commitment to outcomes.
You should have expertise in built heritage (including an appropriate professional qualification) and a detailed understanding of associated planning and heritage legislation. You should be happy working with initiative and be able to find novel approaches to overcome challenges.
