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. You will also work closely with senior leadership to ensure policies are embedded in practice, governance requirements are met, and the organisation continues to operate as a fair, ethical and people-focused employer.

We are looking for someone with solid experience in HR and Office Management, strong knowledge of UK employment practices, and commitment to fairness, accessibility and care in the workplace. You will have the confidence to handle sensitive employee matters with care and discretion. Excellent organisational and communication skills are essential, as is the ability to juggle multiple priorities in a busy, collaborative environment. Just as important is cultural fit: this is a creative, artist-led organisation, and the successful candidate will be comfortable working in an informal, imaginative and values-driven setting. You will be someone who is naturally organised but also creative in your approach, empathetic, and genuinely motivated by supporting people and nurturing a positive workplace culture within the arts or not-for-profit sector.

We’re seeking a passionate Video and Photo Content Producer to help us tell powerful stories that inspire and engage. In this dynamic role, you’ll capture, edit, and produce high-quality video and photography that showcases our mission and connects with audiences across digital platforms and within churches. Working within our Fundraising and Communications department and liaising closely with our Department for World Mission, you’ll craft compelling narratives that show the impact of our work around the world to UK supporters. You'll ensure we represent the dignity of the people we work with and tell their stories with accuracy and care.

If you’re creative, proactive, and organised this is your chance to make a real difference. You'll bring technical expertise in videography and photography and an ability to build relationships across teams and cultures. If creating content that matters excites you, we’d love to hear from you. The role will be hybrid, based in Didcot, with overseas travel expected.

We’re here to help families facing some of life’s toughest challenges to experience the anticipation, joy and impact of a break from the day to day. Can you help?

Thanks for taking the time to explore the role of Trusts Fundraising Manager at the Family Holiday Charity. The role is becoming vacant as our current Trusts Fundraiser is taking early retirement. We’re super happy for her. But it means time for change! So, we're looking for a new colleague to join us and build forward from all the hard work that she’s put in!

This role is a critical one in our fundraising plans - raising around £300k annually, with pipeline potential for more as you unlock partnership working and programme development across the organisation.

You’ll need to be a bit of an all-rounder - researching and keeping pipelines updated, eccure gifts and donations, consider applications, adapt data and information and inspire with your words, reporting on progress and income. Add a dash of strategic thinking as we develop programmes and look for new funding support to achieve that. We currently raise about £200k (with about ¾ of that as secure as any pipeline can be) but have a budget target of £100k to raise from partnership working and programme development with others in the team. There’s a lot of potential in this area!

The trusts environment is, quite frankly, a bit bonkers so we know that this won't appear on paper to be the easiest role in the world. You’re going to need grit and tenacity as well as all the other skills a good trust fundraiser needs. But we’re a great team, going great things and in a fantastic position to build forward from our existing strong position in Trusts.

We’re a small but flexible team - just like our approach to work. This is a hybrid role, and you’ll need to show your face in the office periodically (for things with a purpose, not just for the sake of it!). I’m open to suggestions on job share or other flexible ways of working so just get in touch and ask.

It's vital that you're happy and confident in making your next career move, so lt's take the time to chat if you'd like to!

Join us and use your skills, knowledge, passion and energy to help us achieve a future free from arthritis.
You will join the UK Advocacy and Health Intelligence Department within the Chief Executive's Directorate. The team is responsible for leading UK strategy development and delivery across advocacy (policy, public affairs, campaigning) and health intelligence, working closely with colleagues across the UK to ensure effective delivery of the strategy in each nation. The department sits in the Chief Executive's Directorate to ensure driving positive change with and for people with arthritis is at the heart of the organisation.

The Department works closely with colleagues across the charity, including Services, Research and Income and Engagement to ensure we are joined up in our approach to arthritis.

About the role
The Researcher is a new, important post at Arthritis UK. Working within our Health Intelligence team, you will lead on providing expertise on the latest relevant research evidence, providing a responsive, robust and balanced assessment of the available evidence and any key gaps to shape the charity's UK advocacy agenda, and drive organisational priorities. Working across a range of issues you will play a crucial role in ensuring that the experiences and needs of people living with arthritis are understood and acted upon, and that arthritis is taken seriously across the UK.

About you
If your knowledge, skills and experience include the following then we'd love to hear from you:

• In-depth knowledge and experience in working in health-related, research.
• Experience in the synthesis and evaluation of research evidence across a range of sources (including grey literature), including in the design and delivery of rapid reviews.
• Experience in communicating clearly and succinctly to non-technical and non-expert audiences, through both written formats (e.g. briefing papers) and verbally (e.g. via presentations and meetings with senior stakeholders), with a robust approach to accessibility throughout communication.
• Demonstrable understanding of how research can be used to shape policy and practice.
• Experience of consistently applying a range of techniques and research methods applicable to framing research questions, evidence review and research evaluation.
• Able to communicate findings and conclusions clearly to non-specialist and specialist audiences.
• Educated to at least master's degree level or equivalent.

*As a hybrid worker the expectation is that you will spend around 40% of your working time in our office spaces or working in community settings. As an inclusive employer we will consider home-based working for anyone where office-based hybrid working would be a barrier to being able to work for us, for example for someone living with a long-term health condition or disability.

Benefits
Your excellent benefits include:

• Flexible hours, environments and working practices to promote a healthy work/life balance.
• Health and wellbeing support - including the Employee Assistance Programme (free confidential 24/7 support with mental health, legal and financial queries).
• Simplyhealth cash plan.
• Supportive and inclusive culture, with a wide range of employee networks and support groups available to join.
• Learning and personal development opportunities.
• Competitive annual leave, with the option to buy/sell up to five days per year.

There are over 10 million people living with arthritis. That's one in six, with over half of those living in pain every single day. The impact is huge as the condition slowly intrudes on everyday life - affecting the ability to work, care for a family, to move free from pain and to live independently. Yet arthritis is often dismissed as an inevitable part of ageing or shrugged off as 'just a bit of arthritis'. We don't think that this is OK. Arthritis UK is here to change that.

Arthritis UK is committed to keeping children, young people and vulnerable adults safe from harm. During the recruitment process we will undertake safer recruitment practices and relevant checks to ensure applicants are suitable to work with children, young people and vulnerable adults.

Arthritis UK is a Registered Charity No: 207711 and in Scotland No. SC041156.

Our Covent Garden theatre has been at the heart of London and British cultural life for three centuries. We are home to two world-class Companies: The Royal Ballet and The Royal Opera.

The Royal Opera House describes the place we work, not who we are. The whole is always more than the sum of its parts – we may be a House, but three quarters of our audiences experience what we do outside this building. While our Covent Garden theatre is the nerve centre, the impact and influence of the organisation can be felt in every corner of the country, and around the world.
