Does anyone work in occupational health / have experience of occupational health for school staff?
I have complex mental health issues that have blown up a bit recently. I started my job at this school in January so I am right at the end of my 3 month probation. I have a meeting with the head on Thursday (I work part time, that's the next day I'm in) and I am bricking it.
I asked her PA what it was about, her reply was "your occupational health meeting". I haven't had an occy health meeting. I filled out lots of forms, and then filled out a letter they sent me asking to contact my GP for details. And then I moved house.
I can only assume that they sent me an appointment letter through the post to my old address? I have no idea what they have told the head, or what the head will do. I'm still on probation, and my position is subject to occy health coming back clear. I'm assuming it would be quite easy to dismiss me on health grounds.
I was an inpatient in psychiatric hospitals for 15months as a teenager and under section for some of it. I'm currently under the mother and infant mental health team and on a couple of different medications. I am also in the process of an adult autistic spectrum assessment.
I love my job, and I'm petrified of losing it, but this meeting sounds really ominous
