Our ethical recruitment services are delivered through a human-first lens, supporting organisations to attract and retain outstanding leaders. With a consultative, transparent and innovative approach, we help diversify your talent pipeline and strengthen long-term organisational success.

Great fundraising starts with great people. We help charities, universities and purpose-led organisations find exceptional fundraising talent across Executive Fundraising Leadership, Philanthropy, Individual Giving, Trusts and Foundations, Corporate Giving, Capital Campaigns and Events.

Board Recruitment
Great governance starts with great people
At Valued, we know that the strength, diversity, and expertise of your Board of Trustees directly shape your organisation’s impact. Finding the right Chair or Trustees isn’t about simply filling roles – it’s about identifying passionate individuals with the skills, lived experience, and strategic insight to guide your mission forward.
Through a tailored, inclusive, and transparent Board recruitment process, we help you build a governance team that reflects your values, understands your communities, and brings the leadership required to thrive in a changing world.
We have worked on large-scale Board recruitment projects for organisations such as Rainbows Children’s Hospice, Crohn’s & Colitis UK and Pregnant Then Screwed, successfully securing a diverse, talented board spanning a variety of skills and work experiences. We have also successfully recruited a large number of Young Advisory Panels with talented young beneficiaries bringing lived experience of the cause.
Interim Recruitment
Agile, strategic, and ready when you need support most
When you require short-term or specialist support, whether bridging a leadership gap, providing strategic consultancy, or offering stability during periods of change, Valued can help. We deliver quick-turnaround interim recruitment, connecting you with creative, experienced professionals who bring expertise and calm, confident leadership to your organisation.
We have a strong network of Interim consultants who are immediately available for full-time or part-time freelance positions. They span a variety of disciplines including Fundraising, Executive Leadership, Programme Management, Operations and Advisory positions.
Redundancy Support
Six weeks of personalised, human redundancy support for people navigating what comes next.
When redundancies happen, the way you support your people matters.
Our six-week redundancy support programme gives every individual three dedicated 1:1 sessions with an experienced recruitment professional providing practical, personalised support before, during and after they leave your organisation.
Because good redundancy support shouldn’t stop on someone’s last day.
We have worked with organisations who are sadly closing their doors as well as others who are embarking on widespread restructures. In both instances, we supported the senior leadership team with their duty of care to their workforce and supported the entire organisation throughout this difficult transition.
