• Experience, interest and knowledge of current thinking and future trends and thorough understanding of international development issues.

• Proven experience of providing creative and innovative approaches in developing new initiatives that contribute towards partnership objectives.

• Experience of implementing change initiatives and in iterative adaptation of processes and ways of working.

• Experience of influencing and delivering results cross organisationally within a large complex global organisation.

• Strong project management skills and ideally an understanding of project design, quality programming and effective delivery. 

• Self-driven: ability to take a pro-active approach and work on own initiative; problem-solving skills and creative thinking in fluid or less structured environments.

• Excellent coordination and relationship building skills in forming and maintaining both internal and external relationships.

• Strong analytical skills with ability to present complex information in a clear and succinct manner, ability to analyse trends and report on key financial metrics.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including senior level briefings and presentations, both for internal and external audiences with appropriate attention to detail.

• Ability to deal with competing demands, work well under pressure and maintain fruitful collaboration with a large range of stakeholders.

• It would be advantageous to have experience of working with or for UN agencies and/or multilateral partners on programmes and partnerships with NGOs.

• Ideally experience of developing and implementing structures, processes and systems that track results achieved by an organisation and drive performance.

We are seeking someone with creativity and passion who will help us reach new audiences and inspire the next generation.

At it’s height, Cannington Shaw was the largest glass bottle maker in the world. All that now remains is the # 7 Bottle Shop – a fine example of what was once one of the first regenerative tank furnaces in the world. Derelict since closure of the works in the 1980s, it is now badly overgrown, with considerable structural deterioration. The site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, Grade II Listed, and on the Heritage at Risk Register since 2002.

In the ownership of the Cannington Shaw Preservation Trust, the site is about to undergo a transformation as the first phase in restoring the building begins thanks to a £1.3m grant from the St Helens Town Deal.

A partner in the process, Groundwork Cheshire Lancs & Merseyside are leading on a project to develop and deliver a Heritage Skills Academy that aims to link the opportunities presented by the conservation and restoration of the building with local people wishing to develop their skills – with a particular focus on heritage construction skills.

This role is designed to provide practical hands on experience of working on a live heritage project, allowing the successful applicant to develop their experience of partnership working, – as well as a wide range of heritage skills, crafts and techniques.

Digital Savvy: A strong understanding of social media and digital marketing.
