Welcome. 

I’m Rebecca, Talent Lead for Board level appointments here at BAME Recruitment and this is what drives me;

Everyone at BAME Recruitment and Diversifying.io is passionate about diversity, inclusion and belonging in every sense, at every level and at the centre of our mission as a business is a desire to help guide the hearts and minds of hiring organisations and encourage everyone on their journey towards equality.
 
I lead on Board level appointments, predominantly Trustees and Non-Executive Directors (NEDs), for a variety of sectors across multiple specialisms. 
 
What that means is that it’s my job to ensure that any organisation we work with run inclusive, fair and transparent processes to make sure that they engage and attract the widest possible talent pools when making Board appointments. 

Fundamentally, what I need to understand is the core skill set required, often in terms of transferable skills and if passions align between prospective hire and employer.
 
Across my career I’ve found, when approaching incredible people who could be the perfect fit, there’s a lack of belief from a prospective candidate as to their suitability. This often stems from a lack of knowledge; what purpose does a Trustee / Non-Exec Director perform?
 
I want to help change this perception by providing the knowledge & tools needed to encourage more people to think about being a Trustee or NED. We need better representation of all walks of life, at the very highest level, across organisations.

I want to share stories of inspiration, sources of information and become a go-to for staying updated on the latest news, vacancies and appointments for Trustee & NED positions.
