An exciting opportunity has arisen for an apprenticeship placement to gain hands on experience in the built heritage sector whilst also learning vital project management skills. This fixed-term placement would suit someone who has a keen interest in heritage, wishes to obtain a wide range of skills and work experience, and is keen to gain a formal qualification in project management.   

Rediscovering the Underbanks is an innovative five-year Townscape Heritage (TH) programme in the heart of Stockport’s historic town centre. The TH programme aims to bring the Underbanks back to life and reconnect people with its unique heritage. 

Rediscovering the Underbanks is led by Stockport Council and part-funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. For more information see: www.rediscoveringtheunderbanks.co.uk

The post holder will provide day to day support to the Townscape Heritage Manager. At the outset a Personal Development Plan will be agreed that will set learning outcomes. This will include heritage, project management and individual development goals, as well as matching work areas to the apprenticeship course.  

The post holder will be expected to work across a wide range of areas, providing generic project support but also leading on some elements, for example the Activity Plan, where appropriate. The post holder will gain practical ‘on the job’ work experience of the regeneration of a unique historic area whilst studying for a Level 4 Project Management Apprenticeship. 

This is a fixed term 20-month placement funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. You will be based within the wider Development and Regeneration Team but there will be opportunities to work with local heritage groups and other delivery partners.
