Charity and Development Work
Working in the charitable and not-for-profit sector can be both a challenging and deeply rewarding career choice for graduates. There is a vast number of charitable organisations offering a great diversity of job roles. Some graduates choose to work in UK-based charities, others work in a more international capacity for charities and NGOs (Non-Governmental Organisations) across the globe. Competition for the better job roles can be fierce. Volunteering is a key way of gaining experience in the not-for-profit sector. This can be undertaken part time as a student and is a good starting point to fostering a long term paid career in this sector.
Further information on types of job can be found on Prospects Explore Types of Job and Gradireland Career Sectors.
More about different employment options with your degree can be found on Prospects Options With Your Subject.
