This sector is all about purpose-driven work uplifting others, fighting inequality, and creating social change. From working directly with communities or helping run programmes and campaigns, your work has real impact. The charity world also offers leadership opportunities and values lived experience just as much as qualifications.

Many people start in this field as volunteers, project assistants, or youth workers before stepping into senior roles. If you want to bring your voice and values into your career, and work with people rather than for profit, this is your space.
