How many of you love your job

I do! Moved from mainstream retail management to charity retail management a few months ago. I still get to do what I’m good at, but so much less pressure and I know I’m making a difference. More autonomy too- less pay, less stress and a much happier me😊

I do. I’m a teacher. I’ve worked in all sorts of settings. Currently in an alternative provision for teenagers with SEN who can’t access mainstream school. I love it.

I would love to do this if there weren't so many in our area already.

I love and hate it ! It's such a job of contrasts. I work for a charity benefits/ advice work. It's so fulfilling when you can help genuine people and really make things better for them. I won't go into the ones that make me cross as I'll get flamed/ asked how I know etc.I think overall I dislike it more days than i like at the moment . job is due to end in a few months and it will force me to go and work in a different area which will be a good things really.

I absolutely love mine, which is a good job because certain times of the year I need to do A LOT of overtime. I’m a project manager for a children’s charity and see, on a daily basis, the positive impact the charity has on the lives of the families we support. It can be emotionally taxing and I earn a fraction of what I was paid in the corporate world but I wouldn’t swap for any amount of money.

Forgot to add, I also work with the most amazing team of kind, funny and dedicated people and for a truly inspiring boss.

I love my job. I'm a visitor guide in a historic building and have met some great people from all over the world. We also have lots of school visits which I enjoy

I do, but I’ve had jobs in the same sector where I didn’t so I know I’m lucky! I work in archives, the pay could be better but it’s always interesting.

Relocation and Education Consultant, SE
Love it

I like the flexibility of mine, and wfh, but the job it’s self it’s so boring and not paid very well

I'm a teacher amd really enjoy my job. It's extremely hard work, but rewarding and the children are lovely. I've worked very hard ro get to this point in a school i love....it's utterly hideous in some schools.

I do. Run my own dog walking business. Love the doggies, their owners are so appreciative. Keeps me fit and sociable. I honestly don’t think of it as work, and missed walking them over Christmas last week. The pugs bought me a hamper, so lush.

Sometimes lol I work in FE and do love being term time lol 😆

I love my job! Im a CBT practitioner and love it.

Me! I’m a school business manager. I love the variety, but the hours are very long and it can be stressful. I have great colleagues, and the pupils are (mostly) wonderful, so I’m happy.

Yes I do. I inspect care homes, domiciliary care agencies and the like. Being part of improving standards and conditions for vulnerable people is really important to me. Also as it's civil service, the pay and conditions are good.

DH and I ran a high street art and framing business for 30 years, and can honestly say I never had a single day where I dreaded going in to work. It was interesting, had good customers, our staff were very supportive. It was good.

Almost love it (would love it more if I did not have to work at all). Distance lecturer in subjects I love. Work from home, get the chance to be creative, fantastic students. Compared to other jobs that I have done, this is bliss!

I love my job for the most part. I’m admin in a primary school and like that most of the time I switch off and am done when the day is finished. Won’t ever go back to full time9-5 office work, I like the school holidays and it works for my family

I work with adults with moderate to severe learning disabilities. I love enriching their daily lives, because disability inclusion is something I've always felt very deeply about. It's a vocational albeit poorly paid choice for me, but one drawback is that the pay means few of my colleagues are there for the same reason. That bit is soul-destroying.

I work for a very small children’s charity. The whole team is lovely. I have a disabled young adult child and need a lot of flexibility - and I get it. I’ve been there 10 years and am very lucky to work in such a lovely environment.

I love my job. I’m a mental health occupational therapist and I work for a community mental health team. No minute is the same and people let you into their lives during their lowest moments, which is genuinely a privilege. I work with adults of working age so 18-65 which means I work with a huge range of people.

As an aside, I went back to work today after Christmas leave and even though I love my job, I really wouldn’t have minded staying cosy at home for one more day.

I love my job. It is two closely connected/overlapping jobs. One is as a PT uni lecturer and the other is in a related research field as a private consultant WFH. The pay is reasonable. I love my students and colleagues and boss at uni. I enjoy the consultacy work immensely - working with clients from all over the world - sometimes with meetings at 6am or midnight which suits my ADHD routine-hating disposition. But most of it is WFH which gets very lonely and very sedentary, so much as I adore the work, I am trying to get more teaching work to get me out in the world a bit more.

Wow that sounds very very different from my experience of newspapers, how lovely. Usually I was just abused when I was a journalist.

Love. I’m a TA so paid pennies, I also have a second job in wraparound.
The TA role is extremely complicated but I love that it makes a difference

Me! I run my own dog-walking business.
