Charity Trustee Appointment

Every new charity trustee appointment to the Board of Trustees is critical as the Board of Trustees has legal responsibility and accountability for a charity and is essential to its effectiveness. When problems occur in charities it can originate from poor governance. As recruitment consultants who specialise in charity appointments, we believe that we give a charity the very best chance of getting their critical trustee recruitment right.

We have extensive experience of charity trustee appointments with an excellent track record to demonstrate this. The critical aspect of our services is intimate understanding of the charity sector, together with our ability to search extensively across all sectors of the economy. We have substantial experience of working at the intersection of the commercial, public and third sectors and this has proved to be of particular value in our work in charity trustee recruitment in the UK and internationally.

A number of our charity recruitment consultants are currently serving as charity trustees and therefore understand first hand the nature of governance, what it means to be a trustee and the skills and experience required to make a good trustee.

The Odgers Berndtson approach to a charity trustee appointment focuses heavily upon organisational culture and fit. We find outstanding diverse candidates, who not only have the skills, energy and commitment clients need, but also the passion for the individual cause.

Our function experts can advise on recruitment of specific roles and our Interim Management and Middle Management recruitment teams can help to fulfil temporary and middle management roles. Our assessment team also offers a wide range of assessment solutions.
