We work with a broad range of public, private, academic and voluntary sector organisations to enhance people’s understanding of the world.

We are seeking to appoint an experienced General Office and Membership Officer to coordinate and support our ongoing contact with our members as well as providing a comprehensive administration and coordination service to our small team and office.
