Need ideas for a new job/profession

[whyhell0there]

Please tell me some realistic jobs/professions that meet the following criteria! Do any exist?! Currently going crazy in my boring, sedentary job (in a profession that has very few opportunities). Have researched alternatives but I keep going round in circles! Any (realistic...) ideas welcome

• Not 100% computer-based
• Involves helping others, even just in a small way; or at least making a valuable contribution to a useful organisation
• Good mix of team work and independent work
• Not teaching, retail or nursing
• Pays £25-30k minimum...

Immigration Officer
Customs Officer

PCSO?

PCSO?

Ive come across police officers who are worse than some gang members tbh.

Prison officer/probation officer
Funeral director (i did this for a while and actually found it a very interesting job)
Adult social care admin (DD works for the local council in financial admin, loves it and finds it very rewarding)

Police?

Hehe thanks all! Immigration could be interested though I think I'd just let everyone in!!

Probably not police as I'm too much of a wuss!

Environmental health officer www.cieh.org.uk

Oops sorry www.cieh.org

Occupational therapist?

Check out university admin jobs. Some are very computer based but depending on what you do it is usually quite varied and interesting with lots of contact with different sorts of people and generally decent hours, good pension etc.

I second adult social care finance roles.

OT / Physio / SALT / Art therapist / Psychologist.

Events planner (ok not many of those jobs right now)

All kinds of fund raising. PA to a charity exec, Quango CEO, hospital consultant, professor or someone senior in local govt.

Physiotherapist

I would recomend it.

Good work life balance*, you get extra shift pay, great pension, colleagues are usually okay.

*As long as you dont mind doing shift work.

Plant Inspector? My MIL does this and has a lovely time driving about looking for plant diseases and some desk work. Big demand with brexit. Starting pay just makes the grade. The APHA is the government agency.

I work in homelessness prevention. I am at the lowest of your required pay. It's very rewarding but also challenging.

You could also look at mental health support work, ambulance staff, OT, family support worker. What about working with asylum seekers or young mums?

How much time/money do you have to re-train or are you looking for something you can change to straight away?

What skills/experience do you have OP? Any qualifications you could use in an alternative career?

Web Accessibility/Digital Accessibility consultant.

I am in digital accessibility and love it. So much opportunity now in the area. Very interesting, slightly technical but also very much based around user experience design and being the voice and advocate for people with disabilities. Check out the IAAP for entry level certifications.

Social prescriber

Employment specialist for vulnerable people
