Not-For-Profit Recruitment.
NFP hiring that respects your mission.
Sewell Wallis places finance, HR, and operational professionals into not-for-profit and public sector organisations across Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and Manchester. We recruit at every level, from transactional finance and administration through to heads of finance, directors of operations, and chief executives. Whether you're a national charity, a local authority, an NHS trust, or an educational institution, we know the candidates who combine commercial capability with genuine mission alignment.
Our client base spans nationally recognised charities, central and local government agencies, NHS trusts, and educational institutions. We've also raised significant funds for Crisis UK and the Brain Tumour Trust over recent years, giving us first-hand understanding of how charities operate, budget, and hire. Our year supporting Crisis UK reflection covers that work in detail.
Why not-for-profit and public sector employers work with us
NFP and public sector hiring is values-led but commercially demanding. We screen for technical capability (CIPFA for public finance, ACCA or CIMA for charity finance, CIPD for HR functions) alongside genuine sector motivation. Candidates who treat the sector as a stepping stone won't stay. We brief you on counteroffer probability, public-sector pay band realities, and the trade-offs candidates weigh between salary and mission. Our breakdown of common recruitment mistakes covers the failure points we see most often, and our guide to staff retention explores how to hold mission-driven talent once you've hired them.
For not-for-profit and public sector employers across Yorkshire and the North, Sewell Wallis is the trusted partner in mission-aligned recruitment. Brief us on your role and we'll get to work.
