How to handle offers

Today's task

How to handle offers and negotiate well in the charity sector

  • Write your minimum, comfortable, and ideal salary figures/benefits package

  • List non-salary factors that matter to you (flexibility, development, progression, role scope)

  • Watch the 'what next' video…

The final stage of the process can feel awkward, but it doesn’t have to be.

In this session, Adam explains what is normal and realistic when it comes to offers, salaries, and negotiation in the charity sector. You’ll learn how to respond to offers calmly, what to check in writing, and how to negotiate respectfully and effectively without damaging relationships.

You’ll also cover how to accept or decline an offer professionally, how to think beyond salary, and how to avoid common mistakes that can cause regret later. By the end, you’ll feel prepared and confident when an offer lands.
