I have reached a huge impasse in my career I think and I am not sure what to do next.
I am in my 40s and I work part-time in London (as I also run a small creative business on the side and I have a long term health condition) in the charity sector.
My roles for charities have been at manager or head of team levels and have included: communications, campaigning, marketing, fundraising, grant management and running projects and services for vulnerable and disadvantaged people.
But I am struggling in my current role as a fundraiser with the Covid situation affecting donations and I think I want to leave the sector behind entirely. In the past few years the charities I have worked for have all had dodgy management & fundraising practices which has led to a lot of stress. The current charity I work for is mainly trying to fundraise to pay its CEO large salary and I think I have lost trust in the sector as a whole...
Can anyone suggest any sectors/roles that would be a good match for someone looking to work part-time? even ideas that are completely outside the box are welcome!!
My side business only generates a part-time income at this stage so I need a job as well to make sure I have enough to live on.
I am happy to consider any sector/roles or maybe a small amount of retraining (as just could not afford the time or expense of doing a university course).
