Where we work
Where we work
We work with founders, CEOs, and leaders of charities, social enterprises, and purpose-led organisations across the North of England.
Our clients don't always need a full-time Head of People. They need senior HR thinking, applied to their specific situation, by someone who understands the pressures of running a mission-driven organisation.
We're based in Sheffield. Most of our work is remote-first, which means geography rarely gets in the way - but we know the Northern third sector, its funding landscape, its employment challenges, and the organisations doing important work across the region.
If you're based in any of the cities below and you're wondering whether your people and HR approach is where it needs to be, we'd be glad to have a conversation.
Cities we cover:
Sheffield | Leeds | Manchester | Liverpool | Newcastle | Bradford | Hull | Nottingham | Derby |
Frequently Asked Questions

King HR Advisory works with purpose-led and regulated organisations, including care providers, charities, nurseries and community-focused services, as well as growing SMEs and start-ups.

We combine senior HR leadership experience with a highly personal approach. Key differentiators include:
Senior-Level Expertise: Direct access to leaders who have run HR functions at executive level.

Continuity & Trust: You work with one dedicated HR partner, not a rotating team.
Tailored, Practical Advice: Solutions are proportionate, commercially grounded, and aligned with your mission and culture.
