The Church of England is a partner in the Nature in Sacred Places (NiSP) National Lottery Heritage Fund project. This is a £5.2m project with an 18-month development phase followed by a four-year delivery phase (subject to securing further funding), in partnership with Natural England, the Church of England, Churches Conservation Trust and Caring for God's Acre. NiSP will build on principles established by the Bats in Churches Project, a project supported by the Heritage Fund. which worked with churches, community volunteers, young people and professionals across three main strands:

Broadening engagement
Reach a wide group of people, including religious groups and underserved communities, increasing diversity, inclusion and enjoyment of natural and cultural heritage through engagement events. We will champion the message that England's natural and built heritage in sacred places is for everyone, and work with communities to improve access in respect of multiple needs. The partnership will engage new audiences with local wildlife and greenspace.

Supporting practical action
Work with c.150 sacred places, primarily churchyards, (selected for heritage value, wildlife impact, community engagement and capacity) to develop biodiversity and cultural heritage. NiSP staff and partners will deliver workshops to communities to empower and upskill volunteers to maintain, enhance and develop biodiversity and protect the built heritage in their own sacred places into the future. We will produce guidance so communities have a reliable reference manual for long term use. Through these training sessions and reference materials, communities will be able to develop and deliver their own Conservation Management Plans independently. Small-scale funding (<£1000 per group) will be available for communities to undertake modest but effective heritage and habitat management, purchase engagement event resources, and improve access to the building and associated outdoor area.

Building professional capacity
NiSP will share knowledge, produce guidance, and run best practice activities to lead to better outcomes for both wildlife and buildings in renovation/restoration projects. We will work with pupils in Key Stages 1-4, study-leavers, and undergraduate training schemes, and will explore the creation of apprenticeship opportunities with established professionals and/or programmes. We will deliver seminars and webinars to professionals in both architecture and ecology, provide training from accredited experts and opportunities for participants to share knowledge and insight with each other.

The development phase will work with churches nationwide with a focus on four pilot areas - Birmingham, Hereford, Rotherham and Sheffield.

The Communications Officer will communicate the 18 month development phase of NiSP to churches, communities and dioceses promote the 18 month development phase of NiSP to a national audience through social, digital and print media, talks, activities and events.

You will share the stories and successes of NiSP and inspire people of all ages and abilities to get involved in local NiSP events and activities.

You will be employed by the Church of England but will work in a team of staff employed by project partner organisations, and managed by the Natural England Project Manager.
