Researcher - Heritage Information Partnerships Team - 6 Month Fixed Term Contract, HISTORIC ENGLAND

We have an exciting opportunity for a Researcher to join our Heritage Information Partnerships team here at Historic England. The Heritage Information Partnerships (HIPs) team is committed to creating improved access to historic environment information via a national network of locally held Historic Environment Records (HERs). Its mission is to support the development of HERs through the provision of advice and guidance and through partnership working.
English HERs are at a crucial point in their development. The proposed Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill includes a clause which will secure statutory status for HERs; broader changes in the planning system are increasingly focused on using digital technologies and data to drive improvement. Collecting and sharing good quality data about HERs is essential for supporting local authorities with these proposed changes and will underpin implementation of the Bill.
What you will be doing
The post holder will be responsible for gathering and analysing information on HERs, primarily through the HER Annual Survey. They will also work to support the HER community and liaise with consultants who are drafting updated HER guidance (Informing the Future of the Past). They will be involved with other national projects working to address legacy HER backlogs and the National Security Copy (NSC) for HERs, alongside support for a small number of HERs who may request intensive help with their audit (the assisted audit programme).
The post holder will need to work collaboratively across Historic England departments, and with external partners, to ensure an effective interchange of information, guidance and advice.
