Find the right charity jobs with Civil Society Jobs

Within the third sector, there is a wide selection of charity jobs available. Whether searching for a paid or unpaid position, looking to find part-time work or wanting to try out an internship, there are third sector vacancies suited to a variety of working requirements, skills and commitments. Civil Society Jobs takes a look at the different charity jobs available to help jobseekers find the most suitable charity work.

For those starting out their career in the third sector, there are plenty of work experience opportunities and internships. Work experience is usually for a short period of time, where you learn about an organisation and carry out the day-to-day tasks to gain a better understanding of the charity. While many of these placements are unpaid, some do offer out of pocket expenses.

Third sector internships are usually longer placements that allow you to gain an in-depth knowledge of certain charity jobs. These are often useful for jobseekers looking to start a career in the third sector as they can gain valuable skills and experience in the industry. While 18% of these positions are unpaid, many do reimburse costs or even come with a full pay packet.

Within larger non-profit organisations, they require a workforce of full-time paid members of staff. Along with the typical charity fundraisers, many charities also have their own PR and marketing professionals, managerial staff and finance departments to ensure the smooth running of the organisation. The variety of job roles available means that people can switch from public or private sector careers to work for charity, while many also choose to start their career in the industry.

For those with commitments outside of work, third sector jobs are often a good choice due to the large number of part time positions available. Over a third of charity jobs are part time, which can be ideal for jobseekers in need of flexible working hours.
