HR Support for Charities & Not-for-Profits
Charities and community organisations have the same employment law obligations as any business, usually with fewer resources and more people to answer to. Engage Human Resources has worked extensively with not-for-profits and understands the pressures they face, including tight budgets, funder requirements, volunteer boards, and teams that mix paid staff with volunteers.
How we help
- Policies and handbooks that meet legal requirements and good governance expectations
- Recruitment of CEOs, general managers and key staff, including advertising, shortlisting and interviews
- Board support: advising trustees and HR or governance sub-committees on people matters
- Employee relations: grievances, disciplinaries and difficult conversations, handled fairly
- Volunteer management: policies and agreements that keep clear lines between staff and volunteers
- Restructuring and funding changes: managing role changes or redundancy when funding shifts
Why charities choose Engage
Fiona has over 15 years’ HR experience, including in the not-for-profit sector, and has served in voluntary leadership roles on a number of charity boards, so she understands HR from the board’s side of the table too.
