Offre d'emploi en Grande-Bretagne : Project Florence Community Outreach Officer

Source : BAJR Wessex Archaeology is currently seeking a Community Outreach Officer for an exciting new project called Project Florence, part funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.  This is a part-time position but there is the opportunity to make it full-time working as a Learning and Access Officer in our Coastal and Marine department. Temporary Fixed-Term Project Florence will complement Operation Nightingale, which is a pilot project established by the Defence Infrastructure Organisations (DIO). Operation Nightingale aims to meet a demand amongst wounded soldiers for viable rehabilitation programmes utilising heritage, primarily through learning field archaeology skills. Wessex Archaeology has worked in collaboration with Operation Nightingale since autumn 2011 and this June/July will jointly run an excavation on Salisbury Plain. Project Florence aims to enhance Operation Nightingale in 2012-2013 by involving local families and volunteers, particularly army families new to the area, and South Wiltshire locals, so that they can learn more about their local heritage. This will involve volunteers working with the soldiers to provide opportunities for a range of local audiences to be involved and explore the results of the excavation as it progresses and beyond during the post excavation process, through activity days and a heritage club for local families. They will also work together to produce dissemination material for a wider audience through a blog, podcasts, leaflet and small exhibition. The Community Outreach Officer will be responsible for co-ordinating the volunteer and public programme working with Salisbury Arts Centre and various volunteer groups to deliver events and a documentary during the excavation.  Subsequently he or she will lead on volunteer projects to deliver events about the project to the local community including a travelling roadshow exhibition. The successful candidate will have a degree in archaeology or a relevant subject, and excellent communication skills; they will also be required to use the internet effectively to communicate information and must be confident about working with a range of volunteers and audiences from young children to adults, as well as working with the army.  Some flexible working will be required, including weekends and evenings. A driving licence is essential. The Project Florence position is a nine-month post for 22.7 hours per week; however, we also have a vacancy for a Learning and Access Officer for our Coastal & Marine department and are willing to discuss making the position full-time for one year if the applicants experience is suitable.
