Rise in third sector recruitment noted

Posted in News on the August 19th, 2008

An increasing number of people appear to be working for charities despite the overall employment difficulties faced in Britain, it has been suggested.

Figures released by Russam GMS revealed there has been a recent rise in interim management activity throughout the third sector.

This comes in spite of research by the UK Statistics Authority which reveals that there has been a consistent increase in the number of unemployed people since the start of the year, ThirdSector reports.

Charles Russam, chairman for the organisation, said: "The average daily rates for interims in the charity sector are markedly lower, but they are starting to catch up as charities recognise the commercial value in getting as close as possible to paying market rates."

Such news might be of interest to charities and voluntary groups looking to attract potential applicants via a regional recruitment portal.

Meanwhile, Women Like Us has revealed increase in charity employers wanting to take on part-time staff over the course of May.

In other news, the 2007 Scottish Household Survey showed people in Scotland are the most likely consumers in Britain to work in the voluntary sector.
