Faith

Faith-based organisations play an ever-increasing role in supporting communities throughout the UK and globally. Their work reaches the most vulnerable in society and celebrates the dignity and value of all people. As the world experiences unprecedented change, the need for resilient, capable and humble leadership becomes critical in supporting the work faith-based organisations do in transforming society.

GatenbySanderson works across all faiths and denominations, supporting senior executive and board appointments. Our work extends to the Church of England at cathedral, diocesan and national level; to other faiths and Christian denominations; to educational institutions, charities and not-for-profit organisations; and to any other area at the intersection of faith and professional leadership in public life. Our work centres on the complex demands of attracting talent from a range of public and private sector environments into the faith sector, often where a genuine occupational requirement exists for leaders to be practising members of a particular faith. We do all this with an unwavering focus on improving diversity, equality and inclusion within these sectors through the successful appointments we have made.

We bring a deep understanding and significant track record in navigating the complex challenges of recruiting to organisations where faith is a key tenet of mission and values. We support candidates as they move between sectors and we are recognised for our ability to attract diverse talent to some of the most fascinating and complex roles in the UK.
