The Region's properties and important collections--from houses such

(Kipling), Sissinghurst (Vita Sackville West) and Smallhythe (Ellen
Terry)--offer an outstanding opportunity to combine professional
expertise and interpersonal skills. This important role has key
responsibility for preventive conservation and related functions at
properties throughout the region. The work is wide ranging, from
coordinating in situ conservation work to project management, from
advice on the protection of contents during building works to
environmental monitoring and control.

A degree in conservation or equivalent professional qualification
and 3 to 5 years experience are essential but equal importance is
placed on the ability to promote the interests of conservation and
to motivate, teach and develop staff involved in
conservation-related activities at properties throughout the region.

entitled to take up employment in the EC.
