Alice has been recruiting for the Charity sector since 2008 and is motivated by building lasting partnerships with her candidates and clients. At Charity People she specialises in all things Marketing, Communications and Digital and is proud to work with a range of organisations to consistently ensure excellent recruitment which she sees as fundamental to an organisations’ success. She’s worked with many charity professionals throughout their careers, supporting them into new roles as they develop, a journey she loves being part of.
When she’s not out on adventures with her eight-year-old daughter and one year old maltipoo Roo she can be found with her nose in a book; an English Literature graduate, reading has always been something she’s passionate about and she’s now happily introducing her little girl to the magic of literature one Captain Underpants at a time!
In addition to recruitment and reading, Alice loves art, film, cooking, music and travel; and has recently discovered the joys of gardening and DIY. Having moved a little way outside of London recently she’s also an active member of her community; last year she created a community garden with a group of women artists in partnership with her local Art Biennial.
Alice is passionate about supporting the sector in any way she can, be this volunteering at her local homeless shelter over Christmas, fundraising for a range of causes, or offering career advice and mentoring to young people. She’s an excellent listener, highly approachable, hugely tenacious and consistently receives rave reviews from her clients and candidates alike.
”Alice was great throughout the recuitment process, listening to what our needs were for the role and how important it was for the process to be inclusive in line with our values. She reguarly communicated with me across email and phone to keep me updated and worked with us to arrange suitable times for interviews and appoint a candidate. I would highly recommend Alice if you need a recruiter for Marketing and Communication roles.

”Alice has been a joy working with as our recruitment contact at Charity People. Over the past few months, she has guided us through the hiring process for our new communications assistant role. She ensured the entire journey was stress-free, and I was particularly impressed by how she balanced the needs of both parties. She really took the time to understand what we were looking for in the perfect candidate while also making sure potential hires felt the role was a good fit for them. This level of care for all involved is rare and so appreciated.

”Alice's skill, understanding, determination and patience in finding us the right candidates for our media manager role was superb. Alice's communication and honesty was excellent and I always knew the search was well in hand. We will use Charity People again and I will always choose to work with Alice if she's available.
Pascale PalmerHead of Media at Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership
”Alice was fantastic from start to finish - she listened to what we were looking for, took the time to understand our organisation and kept in regular touch. She also offered us really valuable advice on how to enhance our new recruitment process and ED&I practices. Several of the candidates who were shortlisted for the role made a point to mention how great she had been to work with. I would definitely recommend Alice if your organisation is looking to recruit a new Comms role!

”Alice was just the person we needed to help us when recruiting a new Internal communications manager at FareShare. After struggling to find the right person, Alice helped us really understand the type of person we were looking for and supported us throughout, resulting in us hiring a fantastic new member of the team! I'd definitely recommend Alice when you're on the hunt for that next great charity recruit!
Ben AshmoreHead of External Affairs at Fareshare
”Alice has played an extremely important part in my career and I will be forever grateful for the time, honesty and care she has shown me over the years. My first introduction into the charity sector was made possible thanks to Alice's support, as she helped me through the process when applying for my initial role here at The Passage. She has a fantastic energy, is transparent in her feedback, and is always looking for ways to help people naturally progress in their own way. Since then, she has supported me in hiring two new team members as I advanced to a managerial role and my team expanded. This was a first for me, and Alice made this entire experience an absolute joy. At first, it was daunting. But, knowing I had the support and dedication that Alice provides was so reassuring. I can only hope that in future, if I ever need to recruit again, Alice will be a part of that process. No ask is too big, no question too silly, and what fantastic candidates she provides. I couldn't ask for a better Recruiter🧡
Kate Townsend-HolyoakeDigital and Communications Manager at The Passage
”Alice has supported our Digital recruitment for a number of years now. Alice approaches every appointment with a solution focused, professional and friendly manner. The quality of candidates is really high, thanks to her thorough search process. Candidates came to interview really well prepared. She is knowledgeable about the state of the jobs market in the sector and best practice in recruitment and onboarding. I love working with Alice. Highly recommend.
