About us
Who we are
Maine Charity is the not-for-profit arm of The Maine Group, a London recruitment consultancy founded in 1987. For over 25 years, we've placed people across the charity sector, including fundraisers, direct marketers, HR professionals, operational professionals executive assistants and senior leaders. We also run executive search for charities.
We take a consultative approach. We get to know each organisation's culture and each candidate's goals, which helps us make placements that last. We stand by that with a 100-day, 100% financial guarantee on our placements.
Our motto has stayed the same since we started: for exceptional people, an exceptional company. We give back to the sector ourselves, too, through an annual Charity Partner programme
Our culture and values
Our core beliefs
- You're more than a CV. We take time to understand your skills, values and what you want from your next role, so we can match you with a charity where you'll thrive.
- Career moves are personal. Changing jobs can be an emotional journey. We make sure you feel supported, listened to and guided at every stage.
- The right fit matters. We look for roles where you'll share the organisation's purpose and culture, not just meet the job description.
- Relationships last. Many of our candidates come back to us throughout their careers. We're here for the long term, not just the next placement.
- We care about the sector. Each year we support a Charity Partner, and we celebrate the people who represent us through our Temp of the Month and Ambassador awards.
How we work with you
- Honest, confidential advice. Every conversation is discreet, whether you're actively looking or just exploring your options.
- Insight you can use. We give you a clear picture of each role and organisation, along with support to prepare for interviews.
- Feedback and communication. We keep you updated throughout the process and share feedback wherever we can.
- Open to all backgrounds. Whether you're experienced in the sector or bringing transferable skills from elsewhere, we'll help you find where you can make a difference.
