Appointment of Members to Board of Historic Environment Scotland

ROLE SUMMARY

Historic Environment Scotland plays a lead role in securing the delivery of the Strategy for Scotland’s Historic Environment – “Our Past Our Future”. We are responsible for protecting and promoting some of the nation’s fabulous heritage assets, like Edinburgh Castle. We also look after some of Scotland’s outstanding collections and archives. But at Historic Environment Scotland, we do so much more – as a regulator, as a grant provider, as a research organisation and as an expert heritage adviser across a wide range of subjects.

We are looking for Board members with some particular skills who can contribute to the Board’s development and help it to adapt to the challenges and opportunities in the heritage buildings sector.

The Board is responsible for determining the overall vision, strategic aims and objectives of Historic Environment Scotland, in accordance with the statutory duties and within the policy and resource framework agreed with Scottish Ministers.

The Board has oversight and is ultimately responsible for stewardship and performance of the organisation.
