Could you work in the charity sector?

The appeal of working in the charity sector is obvious. Who wouldn't want to feel that lovely warm glow from doing good to the world, rather than existing as part of the corporate machine?

Many people decide to give something back by working on a volunteer basis. But there's also an enormous range of paid charity jobs out there. While the number of people working in the sector fell between 2010 and 2011, according to the 2013 UK Voluntary Sector Workforce Almanac, they still account for around 2.6 percent of the UK workforce. That's about 583,000 full-time equivalent paid staff.
