Historic Environment Record Researcher Pilot Scheme

The Historic Environment Research pilot will help local authorities prepare for and manage climate change driven impacts to historic assets using prototype decision-making frameworks and toolkits. The postholder will be responsible for working with a small group of local authorities to pilot their use. The design, development and testing of the prototype decision-making frameworks and toolkits will be based on the main source of information about historic assets held by local authorities: their Historic Environment Record (HER) datasets. The project will ensure that the framework/tool-kit products are user-focused and realistic in their resource requirements; they will be risk-based, and they will follow a cyclical model of planning, identifying, analysing, taking action and monitoring effect.
