How it works:

We specialise in connecting you with busy executives, nonprofit and charity sector opportunities that value your skills, lived experience and perspective. 

01

Share your profile

Complete a short form to tell us about your skills, experience, availability and the kind of charity or social-impact roles you’d love to explore. This helps us understand your story, not just your CV.

02

Matching & opportunities

When a suitable project or role comes up, we’ll get in touch to share details, invite you to an introductory call and, if it’s a fit on both sides, support you through onboarding. No ghosting, just honest communication.

03

Stay connected & grow

Stay in the loop through email updates, workshops and community spaces – with opportunities to develop your skills, ask questions, and learn from others who are also navigating the charity and social-impact sector.

Career Repositioning Intensive:

For professionals who want focused 1:1 support to reposition into the UK charity and social-impact sector, we offer a paid Career Repositioning Intensive. Over 90 days, we’ll help you:
  • Clarify your sector focus and ideal roles
  • Review and refresh your CV and LinkedIn for charity and social-impact recruiters
  • Map out a realistic 90-day action roadmap (applications, networking, visibility)
  • Stay accountable with two weeks of email support after your session
This is best for mid-career professionals and VAs who are ready to take their next step but need a sounding board, a strategy and honest feedback on how they’re currently showing up.
