Recruiting for arts and heritage organisations

Our arts and heritage recruitment expertise

It’s a major contributor to the UK economy, yet as those working in the arts, culture and heritage sector will know, one that often struggles to get the support it deserves. Including from recruiters, many of whom you may have found lack sufficient experience of the sector to fully understand your particular requirements and challenges.

At Harris Hill we're proud to be an exception, with an extensive record of hiring arts and heritage professionals that stretches back more than 28 years and has made it something of a speciality. We've been delighted to make successful appointments for all kinds of organisations in that time, including:

Arts centres	Arts charities	Charitable trusts/foundations
Educational institutions	Fashion and photography	Galleries
Heritage projects	Historic sites	Literary societies
Museums	Opera companies	Orchestras
Theatres	Visitor attractions	Youth arts groups

In the last few years alone we've filled vacancies from data specialists, fundraisers and digital marketers through to finance managers, directors and chief executives for organisations all over the UK.

We can also cover a wide range of specialist roles, so whatever your requirements, we’d be delighted to support your search for new staff or opportunities.

How and why we can help you

Our history of working with arts and heritage organisations has given us considerable insight into the challenges you may be facing, both around staffing and more broadly - but we also know that every situation is unique.

So we take great pride in getting to know the organisations we work with, listening carefully to your specific requirements to get a detailed understanding of who we're looking for.
