Job Type: Full Time, Permanent. 35 hours/week

This role is a great opportunity to develop a career in HR - which forms 80% of this role; and to hone your clerical skills as PA to the Chief Operating Officer/Chief Finance Officer in this small, friendly team in our busy cultural environment.

The Henry Moore Foundation, established by one of the greatest sculptors of the twentieth century, presents Moore's work at his former home and studios in the beautiful Hertfordshire countryside, near Bishop's Stortford, and provides a centre for the study of sculpture at the Henry Moore Institute in Leeds.

Our successful candidate will bring proven administrative/clerical experience, ideally gained in a cultural or charitable environment, plus either some experience of HR or an enthusiasm to learn HR practice. Exceptional organisational and communication skills, along with a 'can do' attitude and a high level of attention to detail are essential for this role. Experience of minute-taking would be beneficial, as well as a GCSE in maths, plus absolute discretion and good humour.
