Charities/Not for Profit

---

Organisations in the charities and not-for-profit sector play a pivotal role in shaping society, often operating with limited resources while striving to make a difference. Our Consultants take pride in working closely with charities and other not-for-profit enterprises to help them employ people with the necessary skills in key discipline areas alongside a passion for doing meaningful work. 

Our purpose of connecting great people with great opportunities involves recruiting for charities, as well as working with charitable organisations to improve social mobility. One way that we support local communities is by training staff at social housing providers, like our client Gentoo Group, in how to write CVs and prepare for interviews, so that they can help their tenants find new jobs.

Client quotes

I'd like to express my enormous gratitude for the outstanding recruitment campaign you led for Gentoo's Director of Marketing & Engagement position. This is such a critical position for Gentoo and in the current challenging recruitment market we were concerned we would find the right person. I was so impressed at how much effort you personally invested to really understand Gentoo, our business and culture, and how well you briefed the candidates. The calibre of candidates was excellent and I genuinely believe the high level of interest in the position was down to your work.  
Louise Bassett, CEO at Gentoo Group

We reached out to Nigel Wright after unsuccessfully trying to appoint a role. The consultant took the time to understand our complex business, our team dynamics and what the role truly involved. She set expectations from the beginning that the market was tough. Within 48 hours, however, we had three interviews scheduled, from which we appointed a fantastic candidate. The candidate wasn’t seeking a new role and we would never have found them without Nigel Wright Group’s support.
Natalie Henson, Head of People & Culture at Changing Lives

Nigel Wright were successful in assisting us to explore the market and secure the right people. We partnered on a newly created Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Strategic Lead, with both colleague and customer dimensions, which made this a challenging brief. The consultant was not only extremely knowledgeable about the market but was able to relate to our culture, aims and objectives to ensure to get the right fit for the organisation. The partnership has been hugely successful. 
Ian Herdman, Assistant Director People & OD at Karbon Homes

After deciding to create a new Director of Operations role and approaching Nigel Wright Group, it became clear that we were “in safe hands.” They took time to talk through the existing workload of the Executive Trustee and how this could be re-structured into a new Director of Operations role.  It was not just about the qualifications/ability to do the role, but about the candidate’s personality and how would they fit into a small team. The support, help, guidance, professionalism displayed by all at Nigel Wright gave me the confidence to trust in their judgement, which resulted in a great hire.
Joan Stainsby, Executive Trustee at Zoe's Place Baby Hospice

Knowing key personnel well in the Nigel Wright Group team and building relationships has been key to having confidence that they can and will deliver for us. We have recently shared confidential information about our current status as a business and the team have dealt with this really professionally and managed to get us some great people. You have been fabulous at understanding our needs and getting the right individuals for our organisation.
Joanne Hodgkinson, Chief Executive at Auckland Home Solutions

Consultants really listen to understand the role brief and pre-qualify great candidates in full before submitting.
Pamela Hemingway, Talent Acquisition Lead at Benenden Health

Excellent. From initial discussion through to placement, the service was prompt and professional.
John McKenna, Director of FP&A at Northumbria University

I’ve worked with Nigel Wright Group again on a more challenging appointment this time, but the experience was excellent throughout. The commitment and diligence from them really showed, and they ultimately found an outstanding candidate. I genuinely enjoy working with you. Your honesty and openness make the process a pleasure - you’ll always be top of my list to work with.
Ian Stewart, Head of Regional Engagement at IChemE

Excellent understanding (and helping with scope) of the brief for filling a newly created department position. Recognised a potential good fit for both department needs and organisational values, and helped through each step of the process through to completion.
Chris Hutchinson, Head of Finance at Coquet Trust

Recruiting a new CEO was a major step for the Foundation, and your consultant made the process feel clear, assured, and well-supported from start to finish. She helped us define exactly what we needed in a modern, visionary leader. The CEO we appointed is an excellent fit and has already strengthened our strategic direction, an outcome made possible by your expertise.
