Summary
An exciting vacancy has arisen for a Regional Inspector of Ancient Monuments in Cadw’s busy Historic Environment Branch. Cadw is the Welsh Government’s historic environment service working for an accessible and well-protected historic environment.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, well organised and motivated archaeologist or heritage management professional with good communication skills interested in protecting the historic environment by working with owners and communities to help conserve and manage their scheduled monuments.
The post holder will be responsible for regional casework in Mid Wales and the Borders area covering the counties of Denbighshire, Flintshire, Wrexham, Montgomeryshire and Radnorshire. This involves undertaking statutory duties and casework relating to designated (scheduled) monuments of all types and periods from prehistoric to 20th century. In addition to regional duties, the postholder will have Pan-Wales responsibility for defined strategic historic environment policy areas. These policy areas are assigned based on Cadw’s business plan priorities and the successful applicant’s areas of expertise and experience.
