Don't want another corporate job

I'm between jobs at the moment having been made redundant about 6 weeks ago. Mid 50s. Had quite a high pressure job in financial services where I was very unhappy for the last few years. I can make my pay off last a year if I'm careful but feel like even in a year's time it'll be too early to start drawing from my private pension. Really need to carry on working for a couple of years but I absolutely cannot face another full-on corporate role. DH still working full time in a fairly senior role but we can't really afford for him to be the sole earner, we still have a mortgage to pay off. He will support me in whatever I decide but aibu to just want a low paid no pressure job?

A job in corporation doesn't equal high pressure. ( e.g. my current job , mid management)

The low paid job doesn't mean lack of stress and pressure.

The most of stress I experienced was in small companies. You have to do it all and more.

That's my dilemma to be honest. Don't mind working for minimum wage but would hate to be equally stressed.

Any ideas on what I might be able to do welcomed. My background is working on business to business relationships so I have people skills.
