Perth Lower City Mills Development Officer Job Description

The Trust has secured Development Phase funding of £204k from the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF), towards a £286k development year, leading to a Delivery Phase bid for a £2.7 million project to fully restore the building and its rare working machinery, allow public access once again, establish a heritage skills and conservation hub and centre for Scottish mills and milling. Historic Environment Scotland have offered just over £400k towards the repair of the building, however the Trust needs to secure around £500k over the development phase to secure the full NLHF Delivery Phase funding.

The post-holder will lead on the management of the Development Phase, working with the support of other Trust staff and Trustees to make a Delivery Phase application to NLHF, while helping to secure additional funding as required.
