💡 Why this role stands out:
You’d be joining a genuinely consultative desk focused on senior finance appointments within charities, housing associations, and wider NFP organisations. It’s a mature, relationship-led environment - very far removed from KPI-heavy, volume recruitment.
👥 You’d work closely with a Director who previously progressed through companies suc
h as Michael Page and Broster Buchanan; she leads the function and has built a strong repu
tation in the space.
📈What they’re looking for:
Strong interest in Public Sector / NFP markets
A consultative, relationship driven approach
Someone motivated by long-term progression into C-suite search
💰 Earning potential & package:
Base: ~10% increase DOE • No threshold, no cap commission (typically 20–25%)
Realistic billing potential: £360k+ (£160k worth of warm inbound business annually + additional £200k of new business)
Clear path to management or executive search
🏢 Culture & environment:
Hybrid working (2 days in office) & remote options
Midday finish Fridays + strong wellbeing focus
High-performance but non-egotistical, mature culture
Long-term build-to-sell strategy with senior upside
🚀 Why Join?
Founded in 2019, they’ve grown to ~25 heads and £12m turnover, with plans to scale to 40 people. They operate a quality-first, relationship-driven model and are known for strong ethics, retention, and progression.
This would suit someone who’s maybe in a more transactional environment currently and wants to step into a more meaningful, consultative market with real career trajectory.
