  Education Officer

  I worked as the Regional Education Officer for the South West between March 1988 and November 1995 when I took on a national role as Education Officer for Further, Adult, and Higher Education until September 1997. The post involved the writing, editing, and production of support materials relating to English Heritage properties and the wider historic environment; training teachers and student teachers; lecturing, and a wide range of coordination and partnering with educational authorities and other organisations. Between November 1991 and December 1992 I was seconded to be Acting Regional Administrator for the South West properties in the care of English Heritage.
