Retraining to work in tech? any advice

[Greenfairydust]

I am thinking of doing some online courses (I am looking at things like codefirstgirls.com) to improve/get new coding skills and retrain in a more techie role and leave my marketing job.

Does anyone have any advice as to which roles would suit someone who:

-can only work part-time and prefers home working
-has experience of managing/updating and planning websites for organisations but mostly using Wordpress rather than coding
-has experience of managing social media accounts
-has experience of commissioning web agencies and web developers
-has project management experience, not all in tech though
-has basic HTML knowledge.

Basically I want to move out of communications and marketing roles and get something which is much more focused on purely the development/technical aspect.

Because at the moment I am stuck working for a charity and expecting to be everything from a graphic designer, web manager and social media expert for a crappy pay and I have had enough.

Would anyone have any advice of where my skills could fit in, what courses would help and also considering that I am a middle aged woman where I might find it easier to fit in a role?

Lots of questions I know but any feedback would be great.

You could look at digital roles in government / public sector. Especially if part time and flexible is more important than pure salary. Salaries are lower than you could make at a tech company or startup, but they are really good on p/t, flexible hours, job share etc. You get more job security and a decent pension too. Depends a bit where you are based because they may want you in the office but if you have a health condition that makes that difficult then you would be entitled to reasonable adjustments.

Roles to look at with existing skills set:
Delivery manager (what Gov calls a tech project manager - you need experience of Agile project management )
Content designer (there is a free 4 week course available on FutureLearn)

you could also look at
Communications and publishing roles . There are a lot of roles that involve managing gov depts publishing on gov.uk and social media.

Thank you! yes the Civil Service/local governments was something I was looking at as well so that's good advice.
