THINK Interim

Experienced, professional managers, marketers, strategists and fundraising specialists are worth their weight in gold to not for profits – but they’re not always easy to find.

That can mean an important post staying vacant for months, with valuable time, leadership and expertise being lost on key projects.

Or a team of staff or volunteers being without a manager to offer them inspiration, ideas and support – the practical know-how and experience that should guide and direct ongoing activities.

Or an important strategic project stays on hold because it’s lacking the senior level thinking and insight needed to get it moving.

THINK’s interim service provides charities with the extra resource they need, when they need it.

Over the years we’ve worked in the not for profit sector, we’ve met many great people, and have built up an extended network of fundraisers, managers, digital specialists, team leaders and strategists who we know can meet these kinds of requirements.

We match their skills with what organisations are looking for, and help to kick start, develop and complete develop many different kinds of assignments.

Now, we’re extending this service and would like to hear from:

  • Individual professionals who might be interested in taking on interim assignments (you’ll need at least 5 years experience in the not for profit sector
  • Organisations in which a Think interim placement could make a much needed difference. Read on for more details, or email us at interim@thinkcs.org

Might you need extra resource?

If you have a gap in one of your teams that needs attention, an interim placement from THINK could be what you need. Maybe you have no team leader right now, or there’s an important grant submission due and no one has capacity to take it on?

Is there a specific project you’re planning that could really benefit from an injection of specialist, senior thinking? A restructuring of your team, or recut of your budgets? Perhaps you’ve been trying to get digital communications off the ground in your organisation, but you don’t have the right skill set in your team.

Or do you need someone who can turn your strategy into practical operational plans?

When budgets are tight, you need to know you have the right person for the job – someone with the expertise and experience to deliver what you ask of them, so you can focus on other issues. As a trusted name in the not for profit sector, that’s the reassurance and quality control THINK Interim gives you.

Our interim assignments usually look like this:

  • It’s a senior / specialist post that requires 5+ years experience
  • The main focus of the role is more operational than strategic
  • The contract will be for at least two days a week, most likely on site
  • It will be for 3 months or more, but fixed term

And the services they offer include:

  • Grant application submission e.g. for trusts, statutory, BLF
  • Project management
  • Digital marketing
  • Specialist fundraising knowledge e.g. major donors, trusts, corporates
  • Team leadership – for teams of all shapes, sizes and targets

If you’d like to find out more, please email interim@thinkcs.org with some details of what and who you’re looking for, together with your contact details.

We’ll get back to you within two working days to discuss your needs in more detail. Or if you’d just like to find out a little more about how interim placements could help your organisation, we’ll be happy to talk this through with you.
