Long story short I have moved departments in the NHS. Both very different jobs. The one I was doing was patient facing, the tasks I did I enjoyed, the hours were good and flew by.
My reasons for applying for this different job were the hours were less and appealed to me, I was getting frustrated at a particular task because I felt responsible but it was out of my control to complete it (don't want to go into too much detail).
So I left and started a new job. It's 9 hrs less and non clinical. I am in an office with my manager and am dealing with all the paperwork for sickness and appraisals.
I have only been their a week but I have this awful feeling in my gut that I am not going to enjoy this job.
I don't see how I will have enough to keep me busy once I have a plan in place and am organised. I don't feel drawn or interested in sickness procedures or annual leave etc.
My family have said give it time you might have more to do than you think and you might really enjoy it but I am sick with worry that I have made a huge mistake.
My old job has gone out to advert and my old manager has said that I can reapply if I want to come back. She has also said she will try to reduce my hours.
I am so confused and really don't know what to do. I am hoping that some of you ladies have been in a similar position and will be able to advice on what worked for you
Thanks xx
