Perrett Laver is passionate about the role of the voluntary and community sector in society. One of the most significant providers of care, assistance, services and social capital, the sector requires the finest and most innovative leadership drawn from any part of the economy. Perrett Laver works to find CEOs and Board directors for some of the largest charities and NGOs in the UK and overseas. Client organisations work across the full range of service provision including healthcare, medical research, community development, social enterprise, disability services, policy formulation, campaigning, advisory services, equality and diversity, children’s services and education and social justice.
A specific area where Perrett Laver has sought to demonstrate its commitment to the role of the third sector is in the field of overseas development and humanitarian aid. Our market-leading practice in this area is truly international in scope. We have conducted numerous searches for the most senior roles within the sector (Trustees and NEDs, CEOs, International Directors, Area/Region/Country Directors, Advocacy Directors, and all functional positions) in global NGOs based in the global north. These include Oxfam, Plan International, CAFOD, World Vision International, Habitat for Humanity, HelpAge International, Comic Relief, VSO, BOND and Tearfund amongst many others.
Crucially, we have also developed the largest practice of its kind in the world in the identification of leaders within the global south for leadership roles to be based in developing economies and crisis situations. Our work has seen us identify leaders for roles based in North, West, East and Central Africa, South and Central America, South Asia, South East Asia and the wider Middle East. Our pricing for NGOs is unashamedly low, innovative and value based, such that there should be no limitation to their being able to attract the very best leadership in the world from inside and outside the sector. Through this work, Perrett Laver seeks to support the potential of INGOs to impact more significantly on the lives of the poor and the marginalised.
