Our experienced consultants work extensively and exclusively across a wide range of not-for-profit sectors in the UK and globally. There are many elements of a recruitment and appointment process that need to be managed well and Prospectus brings proven capability at all critical elements.
Arts and Culture
The arts help people to make sense of their world by broadening experience and understanding and by enabling those in the most difficult of circumstances to imagine the unimaginable. We know that funding cuts to the arts threaten our social wellbeing, physical and mental health, our education, national status and economy. Never has it been more important to attract talent into this sector.

As a candidate, I have had a wonderful experience with Prospectus. My advisor (Jess Crampton) was very friendly, professional, helpful and efficient. She found a suitable role for me very quickly and I secured the role after the first interview. I highly recommend Jess and Prospectus in general. They have many good temporary placements and permanent roles, and they work fast to secure a position for their candidates.
REEM BARRETO
I have been assigned several placements through Prospectus over the past few years and the team has always been so helpful. In my most recent placement, I was lucky enough to be supported through the process by Alcione Cassama who advocated for me and encouraged me every step of the way. I’m now moving from a temp position to a permanent role and can’t recommend her and the team enough!
