Clerk to The Worshipful Company of Woolmen
Salary: £70,000 + benefits (full time)
Place of Work: Home based - with frequent travel, primarily to the City of London
Our Company grew out of the ancient Guild which regulated the wool trade. The first record of its existence was when it was fined by King Henry II for operating without his licence. This was in 1180, so it is safe to say that we are over 800 years old.
The Livery Company now combines its ancient history and traditions with an active role with the $80bn Global Wool Pipeline Industries by maintaining close emotional and business affiliations with a modern, vibrant and very environmentally friendly fibre.
This could be the ideal role if you wish to join an active, forward-looking Company. You will need to:
· Demonstrate business acumen and strategic awareness to deliver agreed objectives
· Have an affinity with and be willing to learn about the wool and textile industry
· Be flexible, able to work under pressure across multiple roles, be adaptable to change
· Have excellent hands-on administrative and organisational abilities
· Have excellent verbal, written presentation and communication skills
· Have confident IT and online skills and the ability to use and leverage social media
· Be comfortable managing formal ceremonial events and the protocols involved
· Be friendly and approachable, with excellent people skills and an ability to inspire confidence
· Be a team player as well as a starter and finisher
· Have an appreciation of the ethos and culture of the City of London and the Livery Community
· Demonstrate commitment, sound judgement, energy, tact, diplomacy, and confidentiality
· Be based within easy reach of the City of London
· Be able and prepared to work outside traditional office hours (eg at Company dinners, Trade Fairs etc)
Candidates without prior experience of the City of London or Wool will be considered provided they meet the other criteria and have a developed interest in Livery Companies and/or Wool.
