At Charisma Charity Recruitment, we believe that the right person in the right role has the power to transform an organisation and, the lives of those it serves. Recruitment within the charity sector is more than filling vacancies, it is about identifying individuals whose skills, values, and personal mission align with the heartbeat of the organisation.

When The Leprosy Mission Great Britain approached us, their vision was both inspiring and humbling, to defeat leprosy, fight discrimination, and restore dignity. This partnership was never going to be a case of simply sourcing candidates with the right technical expertise. It had a deeper meaning, ensuring that those joining the organisation shared its calling, faith, and commitment to communities worldwide.

The Leprosy Mission GB needed to appoint three key positions: A Senior Support Experience Advisor, a Community Partnerships Manager for the North East, and a Community Partnerships Manager for the North West. Each role required candidates who were practising Christians, ready to embrace the charity’s mission and live out its values in their everyday work. For us at Charisma, this meant creating a recruitment strategy that went beyond conventional approaches.

Through a carefully tailored blend of effective marketing and strategic headhunting, we reached out to individuals who were qualified and also personally aligned with the organisation’s mission. The result was a recruitment process that highlighted both professionalism and empathy, ensuring that candidates felt supported from the beginning to the end of the process.

One of the successful candidates, appointed as the Senior Support Experience Advisor, reflected on their journey with us:

“As a candidate, I felt supported at every step, and valued as a human being. With brilliant attention to detail, the team went the extra mile to ensure that my experience was a great one. They represented the charity so seamlessly I thought they had been with them for years! I rate them highly, how recruitment should be!”

Feedback like this underscores what makes our work so rewarding. It is about introducing candidates to organisations, creating meaningful matches that allow both sides to thrive. By placing individuals whose personal convictions align with The Leprosy Mission GB’s vision, we helped strengthen a team that will play a vital role in transforming lives across the globe.

This project was a reminder of why we do what we do at Charisma. Every appointment is an opportunity to amplify an organisation’s impact, to bring fresh energy to their mission, and to ensure that vital causes continue to grow and flourish. By carefully matching passion with purpose, we were able to support The Leprosy Mission GB in building a team ready to deliver real change.

As we continue to work with charities across the UK and beyond, we remain committed to ensuring that every recruitment journey is a partnership. One that recognises the power of people, the strength of shared values, and the potential to create lasting impact together.
