— Marc Selles Consultant at NTT DATA UK
We're a friendly bunch at Charity People. We like to work in a way that reflects the values of our charity clients, collaboratively, honestly and with integrity. We all really enjoy our work and are motivated by the impact that we can have in helping our clients and candidates achieve brilliant things.
Charity People is a specialist recruitment consultancy dedicated to the charity sector.
Charity People Group
Way back in 1990, Charity People started life operating from south London base, with grants from The Prince's Youth Business Trust and the London Enterprise Agency. Its aims were – and still are – to promote the sector as a great place to work, to attract the most talented and committed candidates, and to help charities recruit more effectively. A lot has changed in the last 25 odd years - our team has grown significantly, we've moved offices, got a website and placed over 30,000 people into a new job. Despite all this, our values, aims and principals remain the same.
People tell us that we do things a bit differently from other recruitment consultancies. By that we think they mean the pride we take in our consultative, collaborative approach (there’s no hard sell with us). The fact that we are exceptionally good at our jobs, professional, dedicated and reliable yet relaxed, informal and friendly. We all understand and have first-hand experience of the sector we work with and are motivated by the positive impact our input can have. We work flexibly, see every situation and person as unique and consequentially tailor our approach to fit.
We are a successful recruitment company but at our heart we are a bunch of good people who love doing a great job.
We operate across the whole of the charity sector, recruiting at all levels from fundraising assistants to CEO. We cover permanent, contract and temporary roles. We don’t believe in over-promising and so in the unlikely event that we don’t think we can help you, we’ll tell you.

I've had an incredibly positive experience working with Zelda. She was meticulous in finding positions she felt would be suited to my skill set and encouraging and helpful ahead of interviews. She is extremely professional, and I will certainly be turning to Zelda when I need the assistance of a recruiter in future.
I have "temped" for well over a decade and it is rare to encounter recruiters who are as efficient, personable and professional as Ben. He is indeed a credit to the Charity People team and I wish him continued professional progression.
Ben provided an A* star service that resulted in my obtaining a coveted placement with a national organization. I would recommend his professional consulting and business skills again and again.
Annika was absolutely brilliant to work with when I was seeking a new role and entirely committed to finding me the perfect job. From our initial meeting where she took the time to get to know me as a person, Annika went above and beyond to source an opportunity that would best suit me. She was a great listener, motivating and attentive throughout, with a genuine interest to secure me my perfect role. Her support throughout the process was extremely valuable and greatly appreciated. I would recommend Annika to anyone seeking a new position. Thank you for all your help.
Neil has been a first class recruitment consultant from the very first phone call onwards.Going into see Neil at Charity People was more like career coaching than recruitment consulting - and that level of service has continued throughout the entire time we've been working together.
Ben helped me to gain my dream job. I found Ben really helpful, attentive, friendly, professional and responsive. Where most agency contacts I dealt with had poor or virtually no communication after the initial contact they made, Ben was always on hand to advise and update me as I went through the process. What I really liked about Ben and Charity People is that he gave me pre-interview advice and help, taking the time to prepare me beforehand. I really appreciate Ben's help and would not hesitate in recommending him.
Amelia has fantastic knowledge and understanding of the sector. I find her to be extremely professional and approachable and really valued the advice and support she gave me in making the transition from public sector commissioning to business development in the charity sector. I have regularly recommended Amelia to friends and colleagues seeking opportunities in the charity sector. I would also recommend her to HR managers seeking an insightful and skilled approach to recruitment.
Working with the team at Charity People has been like a breath of fresh air. I worked with Anna who took the time to get to know me and fully understand what I wanted from my next role. Before working with Charity People I had found it increasing difficult to find an agency who would actually offer advice and guidance when contemplating my next move. Job hunting is very individual process, it can be stressful and takes up huge amounts of time but the team at Charity People genuinely understand this and work hard to make it as easy as possible. I simply cannot recommend them enough.
Pete was great to work with. He was able to provide sound and practical advice around the prep/interview stages, and builds fantastic relationships not only with the organisations he is recruiting for, but also the candidate. The process ran very smoothly from start to finish, and he helped me secure my dream job! I would recommend Pete and Charity People to anyone looking for work or a candidate within the Third Sector.
