CHARITY HR SALARY SURVEY 2015
Charity HR Salary Survey 2015 Introduction Welcome to our annual HR salary survey for HR professionals in the not for profit sector. This report aims to benchmark salaries across the sector, allowing employees to compare their salary against the average and giving employers a standard when budgeting for new roles. Please see the full data tables at the end of this report for detailed statistics by seniority, type, size and location of organisation and type of contract. “HR recruitment has remained steady over the last year, with an increased focus on Business Partner roles, (although many of these are salaried at an Advisor level). Many HR professionals feel their job roles are becoming disjointed, with a lack of consistency in teams. HR departments are being increasingly connected with volunteers, as charities believe both parties have a lot to learn from each other. The need for networking in the HR arena is now more important to recruit the top talent of HR professionals.” HR, Office and Specialist Support Team Salaries by job level
