FURTHER PARTICULARS


The CBA

Founded in 1944, the CBA is a registered charity and a company limited
by guarantee. Through our Council, eleven English regional branches, CBA
Wales/Cymru, our partner the Council for Scottish Archaeology and a
small permanent staff, the CBA works to promote the study of British
archaeology, and to improve public knowledge of and interest in
Britain's past.

Membership of the Council is both institutional and individual, and
currently consists of c 600 regional and national organisations, and c
10,000 individuals of all ages.

The CBA's strategy 2001-05 has a broad aim of 'promoting understanding
and research, conservation, education and access through effective
communication and participation'. Core activities are to champion
forward-looking approaches; informing and influencing decision-makers in
education and conservation policy; providing high quality information to
help people engage with archaeology; co-ordinating networks of people
and organisations; acting as a forum for archaeology; actively involving
young people in archaeology; and developing and executing strategically
significant projects.


Our conservation work

From the date of its formation the CBA has been an influential voice in
archaeological conservation. Today we are concerned with the historic
environment as a whole - from sub-surface deposits to buildings and
landscapes, and with what is locally distinctive as well as nationally
important.

We annually screen c 6,000 applications for listed building consent
involving demolition, will appear at a number of public inquiries,
respond to national consultations (eg draft PPGs, environmental policy
proposals), give evidence to parliamentary select committees (eg on
Agriculture, Environment, Culture) and devote much time to putting
archaeology's case to the media. Issues of current concern include the
outcomes of the recent designations review, including reviews of
maritime protection and ecclesiastical exemption, threats to peatlands,
impacts of gravel extraction, portable antiquities and pressures on
local government provision.

The CBA works closely with other environmental bodies, national amenity
societies and wildlife organisations to improve understanding of the
links between the natural and historic environment. 


The job

The main purpose of the job is to develop the CBA's capacity to
influence policy towards, and encourage public participation in, the
conservation and study of the historic environment. The main duties and
responsibilities are to:

1       develop and implement the CBA's strategy and policy in relation
to conservation of the historic environment (in conjunction with the
Director)

2       develop the CBA's role in advocacy and campaigning:
*       develop and implement a strategy for advocacy, lobbying and
campaigns on selected issues of conservation policy (in collaboration
with other senior staff)
*       maintain the policy and campaigns section of the CBA website (in
collaboration with the Information Officer)
*       develop links with Parliament, Government, and other
decision-making bodies and the media
*       represent the CBA on conservation issues at relevant meetings,
through the media etc (in conjunction with the Director and Historic
Buildings Officer)

3       provide a focus for proactive pursuit of select issues relating
to conservation by:
*       working with individuals, email groups, committees and other
networks facilitated by the CBA to take forward work on specific issues
*       promoting joint action with other umbrella groups
*       undertaking/managing and presenting the results of research
projects in relevant areas of policy

4       identify, assess and coordinate (and in some cases prepare) the
CBA's input to relevant Government and other consultations

5       advise the CBA secretariat, CBA network and other bodies as
appropriate on current conservation issues and related matters

6       answer enquiries relating to research and conservation issues

7       participate in meetings and decision making as part of the CBA's
senior management team

8       be (or become) conversant with, and make use of, in-house
computer hardware and software

9       such other duties as may from time to time be requested by the
Director

Internally, the postholder will report to the Director and will line
manage the CBA's Historic Buildings Officer and occasional Project
Officers.
