Where to start

This is a highly diverse sector where no two jobs are the same. Think about the causes you care about and what roles might suit you. The majority of charities in the UK- and beyond- are ‘small’ with staff and volunteers covering a multitude of different roles and tasks with few specialists. Working for a smaller charity provides you with the chance to develop a broader range of skills – but you’re likely to need to move organisations if you want to progress.  In larger charities there tends to be more segregation of roles so developing a skill set in a particular area can be useful – for example, service delivery, fundraising, finance or development.
