THE GEORGIAN GROUP

Caseworker (two posts)
£22,000 plus contributory pension and 20 days’ paid annual holiday
Full-time, based in Central London

The Georgian Group is the national charity for the preservation and appropriate restoration of Georgian buildings, monuments and parks in England and Wales.

We are seeking to appoint caseworkers to join the team assessing development proposals affecting the Georgian heritage. The successful candidates will cover either South-West/ Central Southern England or South-East England/London. They will be proactive, self-motivated and self-reliant and have a demonstrable knowledge of Georgian architecture. Strong analytical, written and oral communication skills are necessary. With the advent of
e-planning, we are increasingly consulted electronically, so computer literacy and an ability to deal with online planning applications are also essential.

The job will require the development of strong contacts with local planning officers and heritage bodies and may involve contact with the press or appearance at public inquiries. Familiarity with the listed building control system would be an advantage. Site visits are an integral part of the job and a clean driving licence is required.

Applicants should have a flexible and positive attitude to working arrangements and a willingness to assist as necessary in the smooth running of a small office.

To apply, please send (by post or e-mail) a CV and covering letter to Robert Bargery, Secretary, The Georgian Group, 6 Fitzroy Square, London W1T 5DX, robert@georgiangroup.org.uk
