Shout Out Loud is one of England's most exciting creative engagement programmes with, and for, young people. This is a great opportunity to lead a fantastic team of engagement professionals in changing the way young people engage with heritage and the role they play in telling England's stories.
Shout Out Loud is English Heritage's national youth engagement programme, originally funded under the National Lottery Heritage Fund's Kick the Dust programme. It's an exciting time for the programme, as given its success to date, English Heritage has committed to establishing a permanent 'Youth Engagement Team'. Shout Out Loud aims to transform the way young people engage with heritage and provide opportunities for young people across England to engage with the National Heritage Collection of sites, monuments and collections that English Heritage cares for on behalf of the nation. Shout Out Loud creates opportunities for young people (aged 11-25) to get involved in fun, creative activities to discover hidden stories associated with their community, local heritage sites, objects and people, with a focus on English Heritage's vast portfolio of properties; supporting young people in telling these stories in creative ways; and sharing them with broader audiences.
This involves extensive project work at sites and online, forming great partnerships with youth groups, youth organisations, creative organisations, facilitators and other heritage organisations; positive internal relationships are also key to successful delivery. Projects may be national in scale or more community focussed, in-person or via digital channels. Most of all, the work requires the development of great relationships with young people, those engaged in projects, placement holders and Young Producers.
The Youth Development Manager is responsible for the development and delivery of long and short-term youth engagement projects and large-scale events in addition to overseeing and advising youth engagement components of strategic projects outside of the core Shout Out Loud programme. The post holder will support the day-to-day line management of the two Youth Participation Officers and one Senior Youth Participation Officer.

This role requires frequent travel to sites that are often in remote locations and so a full driving licence is advantageous. Occasional overnight stays away from home will also be required. The key audience you will be working with are 11-25 year olds; as such, some of the activity will be delivered in the evenings, weekends and school holidays. Due to the nature of the position an advanced DBS check will be sought as part of recruitment.

Trustees and Board Chair for the Association for Art History, ASSOCIATION FOR ART HISTORY
The Association for Art History leads the collective effort in the UK to advance the study and professional practice of art history. Through our programmes, publications and resources we connect those engaged with art history, and we advocate on behalf of the subject, stressing its importance in a well-rounded education and influencing relevant policy.
Our current strategy outlines how we will strengthen the subject and support all those in the broad art history community including, among others, academics and students in the higher education sector, teachers in pre-university education, professionals in public and commercial galleries and those who have a personal interest in the subject.
The Association is governed by a committed board of eleven Trustees from various backgrounds and interests in art history. The full board meets four times per year, at our offices in central London. Board membership is on a voluntary basis with travel expenses to meetings and events reimbursed.
We would like to add Trustees and a Chair to our Board in several areas: academic, in our field of art history (or a complementary field such as conservation); curatorial in art galleries/museums; and digital humanities.

We seek those who understand the challenges facing the arts and humanities and are committed to helping us reduce the barriers to engaging with our subject with regard to the range of protected characteristics and particularly those who face barriers as a result of class, race/ethnicity, gender or disability.
We invite applications from those with a variety of career stage, experience, personal characteristics or circumstance.
