I changed careers 8 months ago from a Recruitment Consultant for a professional services company operating in the local government and construction sector, to an Accessibility Consultant for a charity promoting digital inclusion. While not a development role, knowledge of web development is essential so I’m continually trying to build up my existing skills.
I always wanted to do something in tech, and through my undergraduate degree, volunteering and personal experiences, I wanted that to involve empowering people who experience disabilities. However until now life had other ideas.
Having worked for over fifteen years in various banking, insurance and recruitment roles, it’s a relief to finally secure a role that aligns more with who I am. I’m also studying an MSc in HCI which has awoken all my excitement for tech that had been neglected for so long.
