Charity & Not-for-Profit Recruitment

Charity & Not-for-Profit Recruitment

We recruit chief executives, trustees, interim and senior leaders for charities, not-for-profit organisations, social enterprises and voluntary organisations across the UK.

Recruitment for charities & not-for-profit organisations

Our charity recruitment work spans organisations of different sizes and structures, from small and community-based charities to national organisations, grant-making foundations and international NGOs.

Since 2009, we’ve recruited across organisations delivering services, campaigning for change, distributing funding and supporting communities. This breadth gives us a strong understanding of where experience transfers across the sector, when specialist knowledge matters and where looking beyond an established charity network can widen the candidate field.

We work with you to understand your organisation, the role and what you need from the appointment, then build the search around that context. Our track record spans executive and interim leadership, board recruitment and senior appointments across fundraising, finance, operations, people, marketing and communications and digital.

As a certified B Corp, we're part of a wider community using business to contribute to positive social and environmental impact, which reflects the organisations we choose to work with and how we approach recruitment.
