To ask what job you would recommend for a person who suffers with social anxiety, prone to low mood who has no real experience other than administrative

[KitandKaboodle]

Sorry posting for traffic. I’m willing to retrain but mid 30’s and I have a useless degree so can’t afford another degree course.
Interested in helping people and bored of admin jobs, I’m not great with high pressure jobs or lots of people, prefer one to one or small groups. Is there any job out there for me?

Depends where you live? Are you near London or commuting distance to a city?
I work in training, and with a degree and some admin experience you could be a training coordinator, which is basically events coordination, giving advice to staff on training courses, managing a learning management system and lots of other things that are more interesting than a run of the mill administration job.
No need to become a trainer if you have anxiety and want to stay behind the scenes. Pay is reasonable. Starting salary £20-£30k in london. higher for more experience.

Following as I'm similar to OP but with no degree!

Thank you, that sounds interesting and I’m in London so I guess you mean there is more opportunities here?
Where would one look for these jobs?

How about becoming an ofsted registered nanny?

How about finding a backoffice job in a non profit organisation?

Night Auditor at a nice hotel.
I used to do it, and totally lurved it.

Don’t think a nanny is a suitable career path for someone who suffers with low mood and doesn’t like groups, or high pressure!

Yes a Nanny job is not for me, I do like children (I have some ) but too much responsibility for me.

Back office non profit jobs sound interesting thanks

I'm kind of similar. Maybe work in a library? I have thought of working in a shoe shop organising the shoes!

Also following.

I work in admin and always have but find it quite dull. My ideal job would be working from home by myself but have never managed to find anything!

Dont know how England tuition fees work but can you get a student loan and do a conversion Msc in something else not related to your degree? It will take one year and you'll have the rest of your life to pay off tuition fee.

I say London as learning and development jobs tend to be in larger organisations and those with large hr/in house services.
As you're in London, I would suggest sending your CV over to some of the larger agencies, (Hays/Frazer Jones) and do some research on the cipd website about the hr sector in general. Agencies can get you into temp roles that give you a bit of experience and then you can go for something better.
A coordinator role in HR or l&d is usually reasonably well paid and can lead into further opportunity if you find you like it. Good luck!

Have you got a degree in anything you could teach to college age students?

Library Assistant! I'm a Librarian and started as a Library Assistant. My workplace at the time paid for my PostGrad and now I'm a Medical Librarian who sits in an office all day researching different medical things. I love it! I also suffer with anxiety and used to have bad social anxiety but that's not so much of an issue now.

If I feel low, it's okay, I can squirrel myself away and research stuff. If I feel anxious, I don't normally interact with that many people so also not much of a problem.

If you can, avoid public libraries and aim for more academic / hospital libraries. They can be hard to find, but volunteering is always a good foot in the door :)

Library jobs barely exist any more, and contrary to popular opinion they do actually demand a considerable amount of social interaction.

Cross post - pocketcucco you've been remarkably lucky. Are you in/near London by any chance as I haven't had much luck finding anything outside the city?

Hmm, I do often see Saturday and weekend jobs advertised in our library but wonder if is due to the working weekends?

Some other council jobs might be good. I used to work in a museum. that was quite un-stressed. You can search the local council job page.
