Interim
Experienced leaders who deliver impact from day one through change, transformation or absence. Vetted, aligned and supported throughout.
Senior-led interim, executive and fixed-term recruitment for the charities, foundations, social enterprises and membership bodies that make a difference across Derbyshire.
From national charities and grant-making foundations to housing associations, social enterprises and the wider voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector, Derbyshire’s purpose-led organisations depend on the right leaders to deliver their mission.
Oakmyre secures those leaders. Every search is underpinned by genuine due diligence, honest communication and a real understanding of values-led culture, the work of a recruiter who has spent two decades in purpose-driven environments, not a generalist agency filling a vacancy.
We connect exceptional people with purposeful organisations.
Deep, genuine expertise across the charity, not-for-profit and public landscape.

Oakmyre is led by Sian Williams, who founded the firm after twenty years in senior and executive recruitment, predominantly within the NHS, the wider public sector and purpose-led organisations.
She understands that for values-led organisations, culture, mission and fit matter as much as capability. That insight, and the relationships behind it, is what Derbyshire’s charities and not-for-profits get when they work with Oakmyre.
The focus is simple: securing the right leader, not just filling a vacancy.
Clients and candidates describe the time taken to understand their needs and the calibre of people put forward.
Working with Sian has been an absolute pleasure. Her attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond to ensure the right fit is achieved makes her stand out in the recruitment field. She is always on hand to address any concerns or just to talk through requirements, in a friendly, personable manner.
Working with Sian over the last decade has been a true partnership. From day one, her integrity and deep commitment to collaboration have stood out. She does not just place you in a role; she invests in your journey and builds a genuine, lasting relationship based on trust.
From start to finish, she guides you through the process, making it straightforward to secure the right people for your team. Sian will never recommend a candidate she does not genuinely believe is the right fit for the role. Her honesty, transparency and integrity are qualities that set her apart.
Built on long-term relationships, not transactions, across charity, health, care and the public sector.
We work with charities, foundations, housing associations, social enterprises and membership bodies across the East Midlands, alongside the public sector, at senior, executive and board level.
Yes. Two decades in purpose-driven environments means we understand that culture, mission and fit matter as much as capability, and we recruit accordingly.
Interim, fixed-term, executive search and fractional appointments, from Head of Function and Director level through to Chief Executive and board roles.
We work in partnership, not at pace for the sake of it. Quality, transparency and care guide every engagement, and every search is led personally by Sian.
Yes. Every engagement begins with a conversation. Whether the brief is fully formed or you are still working it through, we would welcome the chance to talk.
The best outcomes come from an honest conversation about what is genuinely needed. If you are shaping a senior appointment in Derbyshire’s charity or not-for-profit sector, we would welcome the conversation.
