In this episode, I dive into the second type of career pivot, where you remain in the same career but transition to a different sector. As a social worker, you may find yourself emotionally drained, feeling unheard, or misaligned with your current setting. This episode addresses these challenges and explores how you can stay connected to your identity as a social worker while finding new environments that align more closely with your values.

I share practical steps for mapping out your transferable skills, exploring aligned sectors, and reworking your CV and language to make a successful transition. You'll hear real-life examples of social workers who have made this pivot and the benefits they've experienced. Plus, I discuss how to manage potential pay cuts and the importance of considering the full compensation package.

This is the second podcast in the series on the four types of career pivots, and there are two more episodes to come. Whether you're looking to escape burnout, redefine your role, or simply explore new opportunities, this episode is packed with insights and actionable advice to help you make a value-led change without starting from scratch.
