Three evidence-based directions to investigate, with salary and hours checks kept clear
Your experience gives you three credible directions to investigate: charity service delivery management, corporate partnerships management, and project management in public or purpose-led services. Your strongest transfer evidence includes leading a small team, managing budgets and grants, developing strategy and programme materials, facilitating a process that produced a new vision statement, and communicating organisational purpose. These are opportunities to investigate, not proof that you already meet every vacancy’s requirements. Your required Monday-to-Friday, 8am–4pm schedule remains a key check for each role. The Advice Space and Macmillan vacancies have current employer listings; the CBI and USPCA corporate-partnership listings require verification. Several other vacancies are either unsuitable for their specific requirements or do not meet your salary condition.

01 · YOUR OPTIONS
Career directions worth exploring.
Adjacent
Charity Service Delivery Manager
This is an adjacent move that uses both your leadership and practical responsibility for people, resources and delivery. Grounded adjacent direction; investigate roles carefully because multi-agency service experience is not demonstrated.
Transferable
Corporate Partnerships Manager in a charity or purpose-led organisation
This is a credible stretch that could use your communication and relationship-building strengths in purpose-led work. Credible stretch transfer; income-generation experience and the exact starting offer need checking.
Transferable
Project Manager in public or purpose-led services
This is an investigative stretch: your evidence connects to coordination, stakeholder work and practical delivery, but the role’s scale and specialist requirements will matter. Investigative stretch supported by related management and coordination evidence; formal delivery experience and specialist requirements are key uncertainties.
MORE TO EXPLORE
Other directions your experience could open up.
These are broader possibilities worth exploring. We have not put them through the same market checks as your main Re-entry directions, so treat them as ideas to test, not recommendations.
Public Engagement and Consultation Specialist
Why explore: You have facilitated a process that produced a vision statement and developed strategy. You also communicate organisational work and manage events, which could transfer to engaging people and turning their input into usable findings.
What's new: The work would centre on public or stakeholder participation, consultation methods and reporting themes; you have not described formal consultation or external engagement.
Try this: Speak with a Belfast-based consultation practitioner about a typical project, then review a public consultation report and note what the role requires.
Salary check: Compare advertised entry-level Belfast and hybrid pay with your £35,000 minimum, checking required experience and contract type.
Check first: Formal consultation methods and external stakeholder engagement are not established.
Needs market testing.
Worth exploring
Social Impact Learning and Evaluation Officer
Why explore: You have managed grants and programme material, and developed strategy and vision language. Those facts could help connect programme purpose with learning, although your evidence does not show formal evaluation work.
What's new: The output would be evidence about programme outcomes and learning, using evaluation methods and possibly data; those methods and responsibilities are not demonstrated in your experience.
Try this: Ask an evaluation officer to walk you through one anonymised project report and identify which tasks draw on your current experience.
Salary check: Check Belfast and hybrid entry-level evaluation pay against your £35,000 minimum and note any required methods experience.
Check first: Evaluation methods and outcome measurement are not evidenced.
Needs market testing.
Worth exploring
Fundraising and Bid Development Manager
Why explore: You have written proposals, communicated organisational purpose and managed grants for mission. These facts could transfer to developing persuasive funding cases, though you have not described fundraising ownership or results.
What's new: The role would focus on securing income, funder research, bid pipelines and relationship management; your proposal writing is relevant, but fundraising ownership is not established.
Try this: Review a recent funding bid you contributed to and speak with a fundraiser about the difference between proposal writing and owning income targets.
Salary check: Compare realistic Belfast entry pay for bid and fundraising roles with your £35,000 minimum, including any target-linked pay.
Check first: Income-generation targets and funder relationship experience are not evidenced.
Needs market testing.
Worth exploring
Community Partnership Development Manager
Why explore: You have managed a staff team and events, overseen grants for mission and facilitated shared direction. Those facts could support building coordinated work across community organisations, but external partnership ownership is not shown.
What's new: The work would centre on building and sustaining external partnerships, agreeing shared responsibilities and tracking joint work; those external relationship duties are not demonstrated.
Try this: Talk with a community partnership manager about one current initiative and map which responsibilities match your experience and which are new.
Salary check: Check Belfast and hybrid partnership roles at realistic entry seniority against your £35,000 minimum and required experience.
Check first: Formal partnership negotiation and network accountability are not evidenced.
Needs market testing.
