Administrative Assistant-Jobs in USA

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.

To apply, please submit your up-to-date CV by Monday, 12th of January at 08:59 AM. If you are shortlisted, we will share the job pack, arrange a briefing on the role, and ask you to deliver a tailored cover letter.

Please note, only successful applicants will be contacted with further information.
