With over a decade of recruiting experience I’ve worked for some of the most well known brands in Not for Profit recruitment as well as directly for charities sourcing and interviewing candidates for my own teams.
I specialise in all areas of the NFP sector including charities, education, housing, social enterprise, community, and the public sector. I also cover employability, welfare to work, social care, corporate social responsibility, and recruitment roles within the private sector especially where companies have funding from public sources.
With a wide network of contacts in these areas I often succeed in finding that perfect candidate where others haven’t and relish seeking out those who have just started their job search, or maybe were just about to but hadn’t got round to updating their CV yet.
I first started working in charity recruitment back in 2001 recruiting temporary staff. I eventually moved into specialist and fundraising permanent roles in 2005 and into employability and welfare to work in 2009 where I taught jobseeking skills. In 2013 I decided to make my move into the not for profit sector directly and still keeping my employability and recruitment focus worked within housing, community development, and youth work where I was also able to gain valuable experience of contract management and funding bids.
In 2016 I joined Rekroot. Things have changed a lot throughout my career and I’ve adapted and changed with it, shaping the way I work as laws and best practise move forwards. In the next few years I’m anticipating many more changes which is why my services are continually evaluated and improving.
