Help me think of a new/change of job

Hey,

I work in housing in quite a high pressured role. I love aspects of my job, I like helping people, supporting vulnerable clients, clients leaving a little happier. But at times the pressure becomes too much, numerous times I have felt myself get to the point where I'm dreading work, dreading tackling my inbox because there are so many important things to deal with, then getting pulled away to deal with another emergency. I'm fed up of being spoken to like shit because I can't give people what they want not because I dont want to, but because I don't have it to give. I'm just to the point where I know I'm going to end up burnt out. It's just a matter of when.

I'm considering what I might be able to do instead.
I would like to do something where I feel like I'm genuinely helping people and making a difference. I wouldn't mind doing something where I'm dealing with a particular client group more closely.

What jobs might be worth considering?

Insolvency services? Helping people set up debt repayment plans. You can start by being in a call centre and work yiur way up, or go in at a higher level with training. There's professional qualifications available for more senior people. Its quite good pay and you're helping people at the same time.

Warden of a sheltered scheme, still client facing but usually a fixed amount of people and you get to know them well. Pay is probably not great.
Or maybe a move into welfare benefits advisor. Or civil servant - job centre work.
If you can afford to retrain, maybe social work (probably even more stressful) or an allied health profession - OT/Physio?
