Case study:Achates Recruits: National Centre for Writing, Executive Director and Head of Communications

In Autumn 2021 Achates Recruits supported the National Centre for Writing in the recruitment of two new senior roles, central to the ongoing strategic development of the organisation: an Executive Director, with a focus on ensuring that all internal functions were delivering to agreed strategy and business plans, and a Head of Communications, overseeing relationships with external partners, media and funders. The assignment combined advertising and candidate brief support, with executive search that took both a regional and national approach, leveraging NCW’s location in Norwich, a UNESCO City of Literature.
