Big Society brings demand for Charity People return.
Charity People http://www.charitypeople.com/ the recruitment consultancy set up in 1990 to meet the needs of the third sector, is back. Although the brand Charity People has been away for a couple years, the work we do, recruiting and championing the sector as a desirable place to work, has always continued. In fact, in the last year demand for our services has increased so we decided the well-recognised Charity People brand should make a reappearance.
People Unlimited will become the group brand overseeing the recruitment specialist’s four lines of business - Charity People, People Unlimited Care, PURE Careers and forum3.
David Lale, Chairman of the People Unlimited group said the Prime Minister’s Big Society had created a clear opportunity for People Unlimited to reintroduce Charity People.
“The Big Society puts a greater reliance on charities to provide services for all, meaning they need to have the right skills on board to deliver their objectives. Charity People was a key recruiter for the sector during the 1990’s and is now coming back to fill an obvious gap in the market,” Mr Lale said.
And as attention turns to the Big Society, Charity People has launched V Temps, an innovative resourcing programme which matches people with temporary opportunities in the not-for-profit sector that are part-paid and part-volunteering.
Another Charity People initiative which ties in closely with one of the key principles of the Big Society doctrine is the SMaRT Scheme which sees corporate senior managers recruited as trustees. This scheme was developed as a way to create long lasting relationships between commercial and not-for-profit organisations. The SMaRT model essentially provides a vehicle to bring the skills of talented senior managers and directors onto the boards of not-for-profit organisations as Trustees for an agreed period. The scheme was successfully piloted with investment and insurance giant, Legal and General.
Paul Sais, Managing Director of the People Unlimited group said these two schemes show the wide scope of opportunities in the not-for-profit sector, and demonstrated how everyone could find ways to contribute to the Big Society.
“The Big Society creates a number of challenges for charities but also offers an opportunity for re-evaluation and identifying ways to work differently with the corporate sector. V Temps and the SMaRT Scheme are just two of our programmes which provide people with the opportunity to contribute to the not-for-profit sector and which also highlight a new approach to recruitment within the sector,” Mr Sais said.
There are 1.6m paid staff in the civil society with 668,000 of them working in the voluntary sector. 30.9m people volunteer (formally and informally) at least once a year. Source: NCVO Almanac 2010. These numbers are expected to grow in 2011 to meet an increased demand for services.
