SALARY SURVEY 2016
http://www.tpp.co.uk/ 020 7198 6000
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to our fourth annual HR salary survey for HR professionals in the not for profit sector. As a
niche recruiter, recruiting only for the not for profit sector, TPP have compiled this survey from our
own data over the last year and surveying our clients and candidates.
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 average statistics by seniority, type, size and location
of organisation and type of contract.

WHAT’S HAPPENING TO HR SALARIES?
Following the trend in 2014-15, HR salaries in the sector appear to have increased slightly on
average this year, with the biggest increases at Director (12%) and Head of level (7%).
64% of respondents reported that pay remained the same last year, with 28% of respondents
receiving a small increase in salary. The number of people receiving a small pay rise has
dropped by 10% since 2015. People feel the little change is due to ‘budget constraints’,
‘financial pressures in the 3rd sector’, ‘interest rates and market is so flat’. 2% of respondents
saw a big increase in their salary.
Many individuals feel pay is under scrutiny following the recent media storm on charities and
that charities are lagging behind in HR pay, compared with other sectors.
