I’ve recently been offered a new job. I’m currently in education and this job is a similar type of thing role but in the charity sector. I was on the look out for another job as where I work there’s a lot of discontentment in the team, work is regularly done then changed by management, information isn’t clear and communication is pretty poor. The new job, the people seem really nice. But I’m worried about moving. I spent a lot of time unable to work as I was caring for my disabled child (who’s now in school). But I’m worried I’ll be rubbish. Where I am now is very flexible though the new job said they can be super flexible and know about my situation. I’d also be leaving a local government pension and I am waiting to see what the new pension will be.
Is it usual to panic? I’m fairly settled ish where I am but there’s no progression and there are points in the year that are very stressful. Each year they make a lot of work changes which I find unsettling.
I’m very lucky that my DH is the main bread winner so there’s no pressure to work.
