We recruit executive, board, functional and interim leaders for disability organisations, drawing on extensive experience across disability services, advocacy, care and support.
Disability organisations work across care, supported living, independent living, employment, education, advocacy and family support. Leaders balance funding pressures, workforce challenges and regulatory responsibilities while ensuring the rights, choices and aspirations of disabled people remain central to how services are designed and delivered.
Our briefing conversations explore the people and communities your organisation works with, the services it provides and the responsibilities the appointment will carry. We work with clients to establish where sector, service or regulatory experience matters, how lived and professional experience should inform the search and which skills could transfer from related organisations. Accessibility is considered throughout, from how roles are defined and promoted to how candidates are assessed and supported during the recruitment process.
Our experience spans executive leadership, service delivery, finance, fundraising, communications, governance and people leadership across disability organisations and wider social care. Combined with targeted research and long-standing relationships across the sector, this helps us identify leaders with the judgement, credibility and leadership style to succeed.
Through our affiliation with VODG (Voluntary Organisations Disability Group), we stay closely connected to organisations supporting disabled people and the issues affecting their leaders, teams and services.
We recruit chief executives, managing directors and senior leaders responsible for services, people, income and organisational leadership, considering professional expertise alongside the organisation's purpose and the experiences of the people it works with.
We recruit senior specialists across care and service delivery, operations, fundraising and income generation, finance, people and culture and marketing and communications, with searches grounded in the services, communities and operating context of each organisation.
We recruit experienced interim leaders during executive transitions, organisational change and periods when additional leadership or specialist expertise is needed.
We recruit chairs, trustees and non-executive directors across disability organisations, helping boards bring together professional expertise, lived experience and perspectives that reflect the people and communities their organisation serves.
