Charity Recruitment

Connecting Purpose-Driven Talent With Organisations Making Real Impact Across Yorkshire & the Midlands.

The charity and not-for-profit sector is unique - it’s values-led, mission-focused, and driven by people who care deeply about the work they do. It also brings its own set of challenges: tight budgets, growing demand, shifting funding streams, evolving governance requirements, and the constant need to balance service delivery with operational resilience.

At Inc. Consulting, we understand all of this because we’ve spent years partnering with charities across Yorkshire and the Midlands - from small community organisations to national charities with multi-function head office teams. We know the roles that keep charities moving, the type of people who thrive in these environments, and how transformational the right hire can be.

Good To Know.

➤ What types of charity roles do you recruit for in Yorkshire and the Midlands?

➤ Can I transition into the charity sector from another industry?

➤ What’s shaping the charity recruitment market right now?

Funding pressures continue to shape much of the charity recruitment landscape. With many organisations navigating tighter budgets, increased scrutiny from funders and the need to demonstrate measurable impact, charities are prioritising hires who can do more with less - people who bring commercial thinking as well as purpose-led motivation. There’s strong demand for professionals skilled in income generation (particularly digital fundraising, bids and corporate partnerships), governance and compliance, and operational leadership that can maintain stability during change.
