Job description

We’re proud to find the best people possible for our clients, enabling them to create bigger impact.  As the first recruitment agency in the UK to become a certified B Corp, Prospectus is a recruitment business with a difference. Working exclusively in the not-for-profit sector, we believe our clients change the world for individuals, communities, and society. For almost 70 years we have been working across the UK and internationally to connect talented people with not-for-profit organisations and social purpose businesses.

Our team works collaboratively in a values-led, non-commission environment, delivering inclusive recruitment processes that put the needs of our clients and candidates at the centre of all we do. We are looking for a Senior Recruitment Consultant to join us and lead on recruiting into the roles that every organisation needs to operate: HR, Finance, Marcomms and Operations amongst others. The team also excel within charity specific disciplines such as Governance, Policy, and Programme Delivery. 

This is an opportunity to work in a fast-paced, consultative environment where you will not only deliver exceptional recruitment campaigns and assignments but also play a proactive role in developing new client relationships and expanding our reach across the not-for-profit and social purpose business landscapes.

You will be an experienced recruiter who enjoys building relationships. You may be from the not-for-profit sector or be a commercial or in house recruiter with a passion for the third sector, seeking a more purposeful role. 

The successful candidate will bring:

  • Significant experience working with, or advising, senior stakeholders in a strategic, consultative capacity.
  • A proven track record of business development, including generating new opportunities and winning work.
  • Excellent project management skills, balancing multiple assignments effectively.
  • Commercial awareness, with experience exceeding financial targets or KPIs.
  • Strong relationship-building skills, with the ability to foster trust and credibility.
  • A consultative and inquisitive approach, demonstrating curiosity and strategic insight.
  • A genuine interest in the not-for-profit sector.

If you are passionate about working in a values-led, collaborative environment, and helping to shape impactful teams while driving business growth, we encourage you to apply.

Prospectus is committed to being a diverse and inclusive place of work and welcomes applications from all backgrounds, particularly underrepresented groups within our organisation, including people of colour and people with disabilities. As a Disability Confident employer, we commit to interviewing all candidates with a disability who meet the minimum requirements for the role.    
 
Please contact us if you require any support or reasonable adjustments to aid you in submitting your application or would like to apply via another method.

Deadline for applications: 6th January 2026 (applications reviewed on a rolling basis)
Interviews with Prospectus: First Stage – 9th January (virtual)
