Caroline Jones is a consultant in the interim practice and is based in our Leeds office. She focuses on the healthcare and not-for-profit sectors, providing interim executives to organisations requiring short-term skills or an executive to fill a management gap.
Caroline has worked in executive search and selection for the last 12 years, recruiting across public and commercial sectors. Her experience includes interim management and managed payroll services. She joined Odgers Berndtson in January 2006 from a specialist public sector search firm and has expanded our interim practice regionally with appointments in local and central government, housing, regeneration and charities.
Caroline graduated with a 2.1 in Communications and in her early career successfully developed and managed search and selection practices for firms in the financial markets sector. Caroline was keen to recruit in the public sector because she comes from a family with a strong commitment to public service, particularly the fire service. Her grandfather was head of the fire brigade between 1972 and 1980.
Sectors
-
Charities
Successfully appointing senior individuals within charities and foundations requires specialist knowledge and a light touch particularly when bringing commercial values to the operation of an institution known better for its philanthropic aims, or perhaps its reputation in scientific research or academia.
-
Healthcare
The evolution of healthcare continues to provide challenges for organisations across the public and private spectrum. Both sectors need to increase their capacity to hire individuals who recognise the need to focus on delivery whilst adding value.
