Charity Recruitment – Supporting the Charity Sector
As a specialist charity recruitment agency, we support charities and not for profit organisations across the UK with high-quality, values-led recruitment. We understand that the charity sector operates in a unique space, balancing purpose, impact, and commercial reality. Our approach to charity recruitment reflects this, combining sector knowledge with practical hiring solutions that work.
We partner with organisations of all sizes, from local charities to national not for profits, helping them attract and retain the people they need to deliver their mission.
Charity Retail and Trading Recruitment
Charity retail plays a vital role in income generation, and effective recruitment is critical to success. As an experienced charity recruitment agency, we work closely with charity retail teams to recruit for shop floor roles, area and regional management, and head office positions.
Our understanding of volume recruitment, multi-site operations, and customer-focused environments allows us to support charities in building strong, sustainable retail teams. This ensures consistent performance, maximised income, and a positive presence in local communities.
Fundraising and Income Generation Jobs
We support charities with fundraising and income generation recruitment, covering community fundraising, events, corporate partnerships, trusts and foundations, and individual giving. Recruiting the right people into fundraising roles is essential, not just for performance, but for protecting your reputation and values.
Our charity recruitment consultants focus on values-led recruitment, identifying professionals who genuinely connect with your cause and can build meaningful relationships that drive long-term income growth.
Senior Leadership and Specialist Charity Roles
We work with charities to recruit senior leadership and specialist roles, including executive leadership, operational management, commercial roles, and strategic appointments. As one of the UK’s specialist charity recruitment agencies, we take a considered and thorough approach to senior hires.
By combining market insight, structured search, and careful assessment, we help charities appoint leaders who can inspire teams, strengthen culture, and deliver sustainable results while staying true to organisational values.
Cost-Effective Charity Recruitment Solutions
We are committed to making professional recruitment accessible to the charity sector. Our charity recruitment services are designed to be cost-effective, transparent, and flexible, recognising the financial pressures faced by non-profits.
By using targeted attraction strategies, strong sector networks, and efficient hiring processes, we reduce time-to-hire and overall recruitment costs while consistently delivering the right candidates. Whether you need support with a single hire or ongoing recruitment, we tailor our solutions to suit your organisation.
Charity Jobs Across the UK
We recruit for a wide range of charity jobs across the UK, supporting organisations that want recruitment partners who understand their world. Our focus is on long-term relationships, not transactional hiring, helping charities build teams that make a real difference.
What Our Charity Partners Say:
“We had been using a variety of advertising methods in an attempt to recruit an Area Manager, but we hadn’t yet found the right candidate. That’s when we approached RRA.
From the outset, they offered us a tailored advertising and candidate attraction solution that truly worked – resulting in a successful appointment. Not only was the outcome excellent, but the service throughout was also extremely professional and personable.
RRA clearly understand both the charity and retail sectors inside out. Their knowledge and approach gave us real confidence, and the solution they provided was well within our budget. Most importantly, it was clear that they genuinely care about supporting charities and offering effective, affordable recruitment solutions.
We would not hesitate to recommend them.”

“With the fundraising leadership market being particularly challenging to recruit to at present, we decided to engage with RRA. They took time to understand the role, ensure it was well promoted and kept us up to date throughout the process. Following a previous unsuccessful recruitment attempt, Helen encouraged a strong candidate to apply who was appointed at interview. With income generation for charities being a high priority, securing the right candidate is key. The support from RRA was a huge support.”
Matt Smith
COO
Weldmar Hospicecare
“We’ve worked with the Retail Recruitment Agency since 2019, and the company have become a true extension of our team. What began as support for a key Director of Retail appointment has evolved into a long standing partnership, with RRA successfully placing a number of key roles across the charity.
RRA understands our organisation, our values, and the calibre of individuals we need. RRA’s approach is always consultative, thoughtful, and strategic, never transactional. They consistently delivers high quality candidates who not only have the right experience but are also the right cultural fit.
The level of service we receive is outstanding. The team are responsive, proactive, and genuinely care about getting it right. RRA’s knowledge of the charity and retail sectors, combined with the ability to identify and attract top talent, makes them an invaluable recruitment partner.
We see RRA as more than a recruiter; they are trusted advisors who adds real value to our hiring process.”
