Charity Board Recruitment

A leading executive search practice, specialising in charity board recruitment and governance for charities and other non-profit bodies in the UK and globally, we are experts in appointing leaders from all sectors of the economy to non-executive board roles within civil society.

Board Recruitment for non-profits

We acknowledge the role that we can play as recruiters and advisors in building boards and in board development. To this end, we challenge and champion what diversity, equity and inclusion means for our clients in the context of a board search process. Prospectus has been able to support our clients build boards that have enhanced cognitive as well as structural diversity, often bringing onboard those with lived and learned experience of the challenges faced by organisations – in order to improve their effectiveness.

Our Board Appointments Practice has partnered with a range of organisations working in the domestic UK market and globally to enhance governance and leadership through both appointments and board consultancy. Our experience spans working with whole boards as they evolve, conducting board audit work and as an active partner in ongoing board development.

Our Board Recruitment Process

Good governance helps to make organisations truly exceptional.

Prospectus has an outstanding track record of supporting board development and governance through the appointment of talented Trustees and Non-Executive Directors, Treasurers, Chairs and other specialist board roles.

Prospectus offers a full and bespoke search and selection service building on our deep and informed experience and knowledge of the sector, with many of our consultants currently serving as Trustees and Chairs. Our in-depth search capability is combined with unparalleled access to networks of quality candidates at senior levels throughout the commercial, public and civil society sectors, and within the political classes.
