Would you leave a job after one day even if you had no other job lined up.
Not to out myself but I started a new job yesterday in theraputic care in a children's home which involved me working from 7:30 am, driving over 300 miles to collect a child at 2am the next day from a police station (no one could collect him as they do not drive) witnessing some very agressive behaviour and racism from the child to myself and colleague. Threats of violence towards myself and the police.
This will sound terrible but I was really intimidated. I knew the job would be hard and I have lots of experience working with young people however the situation was surreal. (I also am aware of the trauma the young person faced). I arrived home at ten this morning completed bewildered and wondering what I have done to my life.
Any advice or support would be really appreciated x
