Consider volunteering<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\r\nIf you haven\u2019t worked in the charity sector before, one of the first things that an employer is likely to look at is your motivation for joining their organisation.\u00a0And there\u2019s no better way to demonstrate commitment than through volunteering<\/a>.\r\n\r\nA surprising number\u00a0of candidates forget to include volunteering on their CV, yet it\u2019s such an important part of\u00a0their\u00a0experience<\/a>.\r\n\r\nDon\u2019t worry if your volunteering\u00a0isn\u2019t directly linked to your paid work\u2014the\u00a0most important thing is that you\u2019ve devoted time and energy into supporting a cause\u00a0you feel passionate about.\r\n\r\nIf you\u2019re looking into changing careers and moving to the charity sector but haven\u2019t done any volunteering in the past, it\u2019s never too late to start. It\u00a0can be a great way to get a foot in the door with\u00a0your dream employer and might even lead to some paid work with them further down the line.\r\n\r\nWhy not\u00a0take a look<\/a>\u00a0at some of the volunteering opportunities available in your local area?\r\n\r\nHave you considered becoming a trustee<\/a>? It\u2019s a great way of getting insight into how charities operate. You might not be aware that you can become a trustee at any age.\u00a0If you\u2019re still near the beginning of your career,\u00a0take a look\u00a0at the\u00a0Young Trustees Movement<\/a>.\r\n\r\n\"volunteering\""},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"2.

2<\/span><\/span>. Think about how your<\/span><\/span> skills are transferable<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\r\nIt\u2019s likely that you\u2019ll be competing against candidates with charity experience, so your focus should be on demonstrating why your skills are transferable and beneficial to the organisation.\r\n\r\nThere are some roles such as finance, HR and software development which are pretty much the same in any sector. Others are trickier. Fundraising is possibly the most difficult to get into if you don\u2019t have a charity background, simply because there\u2019s no direct commercial equivalent. But it\u2019s not impossible.\r\n\r\nIf your dream is to become a fundraiser<\/a>, break the job description down into different elements. It\u2019s about building relationships, driving engagement and generating revenue\u2015and these are all skills that you\u2019re likely to have in abundance if you have a background in marketing or business development.

4<\/span><\/span>. Understand the difference in how success is measured<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\r\nIf you're changing careers from a private sector background, you\u2019re probably used to success often being measured by profits. But in the charity sector, things are a little different. For some, fundraising targets will be a big measure. For others, particularly those that operate as foundations or trusts, success is linked to achievements in research, or the number of beneficiaries supported each year.\r\n\r\nOne thing that almost all charities have in common is that they operate on tight budgets. This is why you\u2019ll need to get used to trying to achieve the maximum possible impact at a spend that is perhaps lower than what you\u2019re used to. Of course, there is a very positive side to this, as it encourages innovation and motivates employees to consider new ways of doing things.\r\n\r\n "},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"5.

5. Be realistic about your pay<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\r\nMoving from the private sector to the charity sector\u00a0almost always involves a slight pay cut.

Download the CharityJob Salary Report 2024<\/a>, which lists average salaries across the sector for different specialisms, levels of role and sizes of charity, to estimate what you could be making in the sector.\r\n\r\nRemember,\u00a0you shouldn\u2019t automatically\u00a0assume that\u00a0you should be offered the higher end of the salary range given for a role because you\u2019re a private sector candidate.
