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 organisations that keep Sandwell running: its councils, charities and social enterprises, the wider voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector, and the NHS.
From Sandwell’s local authorities to its charities, housing associations, social enterprises and NHS Trusts, the region’s purpose-led organisations depend on the right people, in the right roles, at the right time.
Oakmyre secures those people. Every search is underpinned by genuine due diligence, honest communication and long-term thinking, the work of a recruiter who has spent two decades across local government, the charity and not-for-profit sectors and the NHS, not a generalist agency filling a vacancy.
We connect exceptional people with purposeful organisations.
Deep, genuine expertise across the public and purpose-led landscape, not a single corner of it.
Senior and executive appointments across West Bromwich, delivered with the same rigour whatever the shape of the engagement.
Experienced leaders who deliver impact from day one through change, transformation or absence. Vetted, aligned and supported throughout.
Senior and board appointments through a discreet, research-led and relationship-driven approach focused on capability and cultural fit.
Skilled professionals providing stability and expertise without a permanent commitment, managed with the same care as a permanent hire.
Senior expertise on a part-time or retained basis, providing strategic insight and continuity where it is needed most.
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 has sat alongside hiring panels, advised on how to shape senior teams, and looked after interims throughout their assignments. That insight, and the relationships behind it, is what West Bromwich’s public services get when they work with Oakmyre.
The focus is simple: securing the right leader, not just filling a vacancy.
Clients describe the time taken to understand their needs, the calibre of candidates, and consistent support throughout.
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.
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.
Sian is always very responsive to requests and enquiries. As customers she ensures we feel valued. She is a good communicator and builds relationships in a professional and positive manner.
Built on long-term relationships, not transactions, across local government, charity, care and the NHS.
We work with NHS Trusts, the Sandwell integrated care system, local authorities and councils, charities and VCSE organisations across the West Midlands, at senior, executive and board level.
No. The NHS is one important part of our work, but not the whole of it. We also partner with local government, charities, not-for-profit and the wider voluntary, community and social enterprise sector, as well as commercial organisations.
Interim, fixed-term, executive search and fractional appointments, from Head of Function and Director level through to 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 public sector appointment in Sandwell, we would welcome the conversation.
