I am fast approaching mid 30s having spent since I was at uni working in 'helping' professions. This has been mostly working with young people, in schools, some project work and then a social work type role with adults. My degree is in psychology. I have had a period off for mat leave and have been back around 6 months.
It feels like my wellbeing is increasingly taking a battering. I have managed to get a fairly flexible £30+K job (I work 3 days so take home around 19K) which is great but I'm constantly run down, exhausted and ill. Its not a great time to be in the public sector and I'm increasingly frustrated by the lack of resources, bureaucracy and negative work environment - I looked around the office the other day and every wall/cupboard is covered in notes about flushing the toilet, cleaning your dishes, being quiet. Then I go out on visits and am faced with a range of difficult clients. I feel like I am approaching burnout and need major change but I have no idea what in because my experience lends itself to other helping professions with many of the same issues.
I'm looking for inspiration for jobs that promote good wellbeing rather than taking all of my emotional energy. Any ideas or experiences?
