Our services include crisis support for those unable to afford funerals; practical support for people experiencing homelessness, such as a mobile library and a community kitchen space; and free mindfulness and wellbeing programmes.
QSA has a rich 150-year history with roots in the Quaker movement. Our work is still guided by Quaker values like Truth and Justice, and we are proud of our place within the Quaker community. At the same time, there is nothing religious about our work: our services, jobs and volunteering roles are open to all.

Harris Hill is delighted to be working on behalf of a dynamic and values-led arts charity to recruit an HR and Office Manager. Our client operates at the intersection of contemporary art, community and culture, transforming underused buildings into vibrant, artist-led environments, and is seeking a confident and people-centred professional to help support its growing team.
This is a permanent, full-time position of 32 hours per week, worked across four days, as this organisation operates a four-day working week as its full-time model. The role is mostly office-based and will involve working across several creative spaces in London, with some flexibility for home working where appropriate.
In this role, you will take ownership of day-to-day HR and office operations, ensuring that staff are well supported and that internal systems run smoothly and transparently. You will oversee the full employee lifecycle, from onboarding to offboarding, maintain accurate and confidential staff records, and act as a trusted point of contact for HR queries and employee relations matters. Alongside this, you will play a central role in strengthening organisational infrastructure, improving internal systems, managing calendars and shared information, coordinating meetings, and supporting internal communications.
