About Us

SAVE Britain’s Heritage is a national campaigning charity working to protect historic buildings from demolition and decay. For over 50 years we’ve been at the forefront of the heritage movement, combining high-profile media campaigns, in-depth research, and grassroots activism to champion the reuse of historic buildings and the places they create. 

About The Role

SAVE Britain’s Heritage is looking for a proactive and collaborative Heritage Engagement Manager to strengthen our support for communities campaigning to save historic buildings. 

You’ll take the lead in developing and managing SAVE’s public-facing resources — including the Buildings at Risk Register, ACT NOW! Toolkit and Building of the Month — ensuring they are accessible, impactful and widely used. A key part of the role is working directly with community campaigners, volunteers and students, providing advice and support to help them run effective campaigns, and sharing success stories across SAVE’s networks. 

Working closely with our small team — and alongside our Casework Officer — you’ll help ensure SAVE’s campaigning tools are closely aligned with our strategic aims, from audience development and sector leadership to new partnership opportunities. You’ll also coordinate the annual launch of the Buildings at Risk list, deliver regional engagement activities, and build partnerships with universities and professional networks to foster collaborative initiatives. 

We’re looking for someone with knowledge of planning, conservation and the built environment, proven experience supporting or enabling community groups, and strong communication and project management skills. Experience of partnership development, volunteer coordination are also valuable. 

This is a hands-on role with real scope to shape SAVE’s engagement work and make a tangible impact for communities and historic buildings across the country. If you’re excited by the chance to champion threatened buildings and empower people to act, we’d love to hear from you. 

Deadline: Friday 3rd October 

Interviews: Week beginning Monday 13th October
