About us
The borough of Sefton is located in north Merseyside within the Liverpool City Region.
Sefton has a unique historic environment with over 560 Listed Buildings and 25 Conservation Areas covering a wide range of building ages and types. This is a key post within the Conservation & Heritage team which is part of Planning Services. The work is both challenging and rewarding. It is critical to maintaining the distinctiveness of Sefton’s towns and villages and ensuring these areas continue to be desirable places to live, visit and work.
We have been successful in attracting national lottery funding for our Townscape Heritage project for Southport but we also face major challenges in relation to Heritage at Risk which we are currently tackling.
Job requirements:
The successful candidate will need relevant experience and qualifications in dealing with the Historic Environment through relevant planning legislation. You will be pro-active and enthusiastic and able to handle a busy and varied workload. This will include advising on development proposals and taking enforcement action, developing and implementing planning policy, and supporting a range of heritage regeneration initiatives including the Southport Townscape Heritage project.
We are looking for someone who has conservation skills and is a strong communicator, able to give advice on the historic environment to a range of stakeholders and partners.
