I work in a job part-time. I've trained hard to do the job and want to continue to work in this profession but would ideally change sectors.
I started looking for a new job in the same profession but different sector. This might have meant sticking with my part time job and adding a day on. But long term I was planning to leave completely. However I have just been offered a promotion at work to make me a deputy manager and supervise staff. I hadn't planned to go into management but it's making me think. Where I work now is very child friendly and I have young children (one is pre-school).
So should I:
A: Stay in my current part time role but keep looking out to see if a great opportunity comes up elsewhere to change sectors. With the idea to see if I enjoy working in a different, more challenging sector and develop my skills clinically.
Or
B: Take promotion, work another day a week and move into a deputy manager position. This gives me experience of managing but I would probably feel obliged to stay in this sector for a few years if I just got a promotion.
I'm being vague here but it's a case of be a deputy-manager doing the profession I love but in a sector I don't see myself in long term or find something new that moves into different clinical work but who knows if that will work out!
And I have young childre to add into the mix...
