Heritage Manager
Posted: 11-09-2026
Our Big Picture believes that everyone has the right to art in their lives. Since 2016, we have grown from a market stall on Grimsby’s Top Town Market into North East Lincolnshire’s first dedicated community Arts and Heritage Hub, working inclusively with our communities so that everyone can shape, take part in, experience and enjoy art and heritage at its best.
The Role
The Heritage Manager is a new post at the heart of OBP’s ambition to become the established Heritage Hub for NE Lincolnshire. This is a strategic and delivery role, one that combines hands-on programme leadership with relationship-building across the regional and national heritage sector.
Working from OBP’s town centre Hub as the physical point of contact for NEL’s heritage sector, the Heritage Manager will lead the Heritage Journey — a peer-to-peer support framework that connects individuals and organisations across NEL with mentoring, project development guidance and sector expertise. They will also lead the Medieval Grimsby research programme, develop OBP’s collections policy, and provide support across all three flagship project strands alongside the CEO and Art Programme Manager.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a role for someone who is as comfortable working with community volunteers around a table of archaeological finds as they are presenting to academic partners or supporting a grassroots heritage group to develop their first funding application. It requires the ability to work at pace, breadth, warmth, rigour and genuine enthusiasm for making heritage accessible to everyone.
