Funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, the selected consultant(s) will be responsible for raising £2m in partnership match funding required for the Delivery Phase of the project.
The Portico, a much-loved cultural destination in the heart of Manchester, was established in 1806 as a ground-breaking newsroom and library, and is currently working with experts and a range of community groups and partners to trial plans for a bold £7 million capital development project. Reunited will transform the building, preserve the historic book collection, and deliver their vision to be the most accessible, sustainable, and dynamic historic library, where past, present, and future are unlocked through creativity and collaboration
The Portico Library is an equal opportunities employer and they value diversity in our organisation, recognising its critical importance as well as the many strengths in bringing a wide range of cultures, ideas and knowledge together. They want a workforce that reflects the incredible diversity of Greater Manchester’s communities and therefore welcome and encourage applications from candidates who are currently underrepresented across the heritage sector, including members of the Global Majority, d/Deaf and disabled applicants and individuals from lower socio-economic backgrounds.
