Switching Careers (Social Work, Advisory Services, Counselling)?
I'm looking for inroads into social work, advisory services and counselling positions. I've spent 18 years working in customer based positions, to the point where i am qualified to provide sales team training, consultancy and mentoring. However i feel (and have taken extensive advice on this) that i would get more, on a personal level, out of a social / advisory / counselling role. Which would use many of the existing 'people skills' i have developed along the way. I am currently undergoing retraining: Open degree in social work. But i would like to secure an entry / intermidiate level position in this line of work. Can anybody suggest an organisation that would consider such a placement on a full or part-time basis (paid work). John.
