Non-teaching jobs in educational organisations - any ideas please?

Hi everyone!

Sorry to come on here with a request unrelated to teaching - I promise it is vaguely connected though!

I started a teacher training course last year, but realised that teaching wasn't for me. I would really love to be involved in education though - potentially through working with a charity involved in education, or perhaps through working in educational policy.

To give a bit of background, I graduated a couple of years ago with an Oxbridge Languages degree and worked as a tutor for a year before starting the teacher training course in summer last year. I really enjoy writing as well, and wrote a lot for student newspapers and did lots of media work experience at university.

I then resigned from the course in winter last year (not long after starting!), and have tutored since then to bring some money in whilst I work out what I'd like to do long-term. I also volunteer with a charity that runs writing workshops for children.

I'm wondering if you could all help me out please with ideas for a career that involves working with organisations connected to education please?

Thanks so much :)

What about educational publishing if you like writing and have knowledge of education. Look for companies who write textbooks, assessment material, worksheets. Paper-based or online.
