Often, a health charity has several functions, including:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>to develop a support service for people in need<\/li>\r\n \t<li>to provide information and advice, for example about care pathways and treatment<\/li>\r\n \t<li>to develop, deliver and promote the service.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nSome roles may be more generic and move away from direct one-to-one patient interactions. For example, if you\u2019re a dietician, you could find a role at a diabetes charity, using your knowledge in a \u2018public health\u2019 sense to improve awareness of the condition.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-14006\" src=\"https:\/\/charityjob.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/GettyImages-687050598-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Charity workers brainstorming with post-it notes\" width=\"723\" height=\"482\" \/>Job titles in charities might be different to what you might be used to in other sectors. Some examples of the relevant role titles that you might find in the charity sector include:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Research Manager<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Health Consultant<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Service Manager<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Communications Manager<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Advocacy Manager.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n&nbsp;"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"Skills you\u2019ll bring to the charity sector","content":"<h2>Skills you\u2019ll bring to the charity sector<\/h2>\r\nWhatever your area of competence, your clinical knowledge will be priceless. You can use it to support patients and other service users. In addition to this, your knowledge of NHS or private services, when and how they can be accessed, as well as where a charity could best target its energies, will be of enormous value.\r\n\r\nHaving worked in healthcare, you\u2019ll also have many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/careeradvice\/transferable-skills-you-didnt-know-you-had\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">transferable skills<\/a>. Examples of skills that are particularly valued in the charity sector include:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>communication skills<\/li>\r\n \t<li>management and leadership skills<\/li>\r\n \t<li>empathy<\/li>\r\n \t<li>teamwork<\/li>\r\n \t<li>time management<\/li>\r\n \t<li>initiative<\/li>\r\n \t<li>problem solving<\/li>\r\n \t<li>adaptability and flexibility.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11794\" src=\"https:\/\/charityjob.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/flexible-working-from-home-charity-sector.jpg\" alt=\"Women working at laptop with puppy\" width=\"975\" height=\"515\" \/>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"Benefits of moving into the charity sector","content":"<h2>Benefits of moving into the charity sector<\/h2>\r\n<h3>You can choose to work with a particular group of service users<\/h3>\r\nDepending on your field of expertise and interest, it\u2019s possible to find a charity that specialises in providing support to a specific group. Examples include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/jobs?keywords=Children+Support\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">children<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/jobs?keywords=Refugee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">refugees<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/jobs?keywords=older+people\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">older people<\/a>, to name just a few.\r\n<h3>You'll share a sense of purpose<\/h3>\r\nPeople often go into healthcare because they want to help others. This is an excellent fit with the charity sector, in terms of sharing values and having a common sense of purpose. You\u2019ll be working alongside a wide range of colleagues, from volunteers to stakeholders, towards the greater good.\r\n<h3>There are opportunities for flexible and part-time working<\/h3>\r\nMany charity sector roles involve a Monday to Friday, 9am\u20135pm routine. There\u2019s usually flexibility offered around those hours too. Charities are often open to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/jobs?keywords=part-time\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">part-time work<\/a>, which can be useful if you have other commitments to work around.\r\n\r\nWorking for a charity can also open the door to a <a href=\"https:\/\/lisastonecareersandcoaching.co.uk\/2018\/01\/23\/portfolio-careers-for-nhs-staff\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">portfolio career<\/a>. This is where you choose to work in a range of different roles, using different skills. A portfolio career can also include doing pro bono or voluntary work. It could therefore mean that you could work some days for the NHS and some days for a charity.\r\n<h3>There might be opportunities to work internationally in global health<\/h3>\r\nIf you moved to a role in an international charity, it\u2019s possible that you\u2019d be able to go on overseas trips. You could even be posted abroad for fixed amounts of time. This can be very attractive for healthcare workers who want to move into the area of global health.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"","content":"If you\u2019re a healthcare professional looking for an alternative career, there are many opportunities in the charity sector. It\u2019s well worth exploring the roles that are out there. If you work for a charity you\u2019ll be focused on driving change and helping to improve the lives of others. This can be highly rewarding. Look for the key charities in your area of expertise that pick up the burden that no other organisations do in our society.\r\n\r\n<strong>Start\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/jobs\">searching for roles<\/a><\/strong><strong>\u00a0today and find your adventure!<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<em>This post was originally published in 2022.
