The Findhorn Foundation is part of a 58 year old spiritual community where it runs courses based on the three foundational principles of Inner Listening, Co-creation with the intelligence of nature and Work as love in action. Despite its small size and remote location it has had a global impact, creating a space where tens of thousands of people have had their lives transformed and gone on to be influencers for good across the world.
As the Foundation goes through its process of radical transformation in response to the challenges brought about by the COVID pandemic, the HR function has commenced its own transformation as we update our policies, procedures and contracts.
We are looking for a creative and detail focused person to be part of this process, keeping our vital functions running amidst change and restructuring, whilst also supporting the development of the department.
