Foundation for Jewish Heritage – Historic Synagogues Project Development Officer
The Foundation for Jewish Heritage is looking to appoint an experienced Project Development Officer to join their team as a pivotal element of a new National Lottery Heritage Fund-supported project.
The project will significantly augment capacity to support UK synagogues in need of support to preserve their historic fabric and protect and make accessible the Jewish heritage they embody.
The successful candidate will report to the Foundation’s Projects Director, leading on essential organisational development and project set-up in the year 1 Development Phase of the project.
While a specialist consultant team will be recruited to implement this project during years 2-6 of the project subject to a successful Delivery Phase application, the Project Development Officer is integral to scoping and developing the delivery programme in the crucial initial planning of the project.
Working with the Projects Director, the post-holder will lead on recruiting and managing consultants, establishing governance processes, carrying out baseline assessments of at-risk synagogues, and developing strategies for a Historic Synagogues Heritage Route, an oral history project, and a small grants scheme.

Status: Fixed term (one year), 30 hours per week, flexible working available
