About us

How we work with you

An initial meeting with you helps us to clarify needs and the areas in which we can help. We then confirm the scope of our work and associated fees. Our approach is participative and based on transferring skills, so much of our work is carried out in the form of workshops, focus groups, interviews with key stakeholders, and working in partnership with people in your organisation to achieve the desired outcomes.

Through our network we are also able to put you in touch with peers and colleagues who have useful experiences to share.

We hold regular reviews throughout our engagement with you, enabling us to agree changes in direction, scope or approach where necessary. We also build in monitoring and evaluation during, immediately afterwards, and 6-12 months following the end of a project to test impact and identify learning.

The people

We are a group of highly experienced professionals, from a range of disciplines and sectors, who share similar values and wish to offer our skills to individuals and organisations who are working to make the world a better place. You can contract directly with anyone in the network. If a project requires a team of people, then we will work with you to agree the composition of the team and how it will be managed.

J Hill Associates provides a gateway to the range of skill sets and offerings that you could get from a large organisation coupled with the advantages of working with individuals and small organisations who understand your needs and share your values.

Fee structures

We do not have a fixed daily rate, but would work with you to understand the level of input you require from us, the volume of the work, timing, and the benefits we could bring. We would also endeavour to fit in with your budgets as far as possible, either as a daily rate or a fixed fee, based on a written proposal for an agreed scope of work.

A financial return is only one of the reasons why we do what we do.
