Our new way to search for purposeful work

Happy Bank Holiday Monday Escapees,

Ever feel like your job is just the one that pays the bills - not the one that actually fits you?

Yes, money still matters - it’s a crucial part of the picture, especially when things feel tight. But more and more of us are realising that work can (and should) offer something more: purpose, impact, autonomy, and a better sense of wellbeing.

We don’t just want a pay cheque anymore. We want work that brings meaning, balance, and the opportunity to contribute to something bigger than ourselves. We’re also hoping for flexibility - because, let’s face it, we all enjoy the idea of rolling out of bed at 8:55am and jumping straight into a meeting in our pyjamas.

This shift has been building for years - driven by remote work, the gig economy, and changing expectations around what work can be. While we understand that some of us are still working hard to balance financial security with personal fulfilment, remember that change doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing. Small steps, like seeking more meaningful projects or negotiating for better work-life balance, can make a huge difference.

If you're craving more meaning, balance, or alignment in your work, you're not alone. This shift has been happening across industries, and many people are already taking action.

If you’re ready to make a move, take a look at this week's top 10 opportunities below - you might just find the role that helps you align your work with what matters most to you.

Happy Escaping,

The Escape team!
