Housing, Charities & Not-for-Profit
A move into the Housing, Charities & Not-for-Profit offers you a different, yet equally rewarding, career path compared to traditional commercial roles. For many, the primary driver is the opportunity to contribute to a cause they believe in. While focused on mission, many charities are becoming increasingly sophisticated and "business-like," engaging in commercial activities to generate revenue.

This means you can still utilise and develop your commercial acumen, but within a framework where social impact is the ultimate goal.
