I have been working for my employers for over two years. The hours are great, I work 20 hours per week during school hours on a term time contract. I was the only person who did my job and I was pretty much left to get on with it, however for the past 12 months I have been inundated with work and so they decided they needed someone to manage the work and to possibly get someone else in to work full time alongside me. Some of my duties would change too as they were essentially forming a new department. I was asked if I was going to apply for the role of Manager but I declined as they wanted someone to work full time and on a 52 week contract which is not what I want at all.
Several months ago my new manager started. Last week she told me after reviewing the resourcing needs of the department she has decided that a part time person will not work, and a job share wouldn't work either. I have to work full time or be made redundant. I have looked into working full time but as I have 3 young children the cost of putting them into wrap around care would pretty much wipe out my earnings so there would be no point in working, and anyway I just don't want to work full time. I can't help but feel this could be classed as constructive dismissal but I have no idea if I have any rights at all. I guess I'd just like some advice as to how I should proceed.
