Hi all, I am contemplating making the change from teaching and moving into the charity sector. I just wanted to know if this is common or if anyone has made the change? If so, are you happy with the move and was it fairly straightforward? Thanks

Hi Gary, I taught secondary English for a couple of years and then moved to the charity sector for the next 20 -  I love it. You'll have lots of transferable skills, go for it.

Hi Gary, I was a tutor and learning support worker for a few years and then moved to the charity sector albeit as a volunteer. I now work for two charities, on a voluntary basis, and I feel the change was the best thing I have done. It is very rewarding helping people and they appreciate it too. I hope it works out for you.

Hi Gary! 
This is quite an old article now, but is from the perspective of someone who moved from teaching in a secondary school into the charity sector: https://www.charityjob.co.uk/careeradvice/career-tips-charity-champion-kate-brown/

Gary Collison   In the face of academic challenges, I found my compass in the form of essay writing experts. These professionals possess https://www.nursingpaper.com/examples/nursing/ a remarkable ability to transform complex ideas into coherent and persuasive essays. Their invaluable assistance has not only improved my academic performance but has also taught me the art of effective communication.
