Good evening!
So I started a new job about a week ago in the care sector which I seriously thought I was going to love. I fully researched it and had some experience in the sector and thought it would and could be a good fit.
Unfortunately me and the job do not mesh well together. I really wasn’t prepared for the level of stress I would experience, how doing personal care again would really make me feel and how I would get on working in a small, nice but ever so slightly bitchy team that I would find hard to relate to in any way.
Sadly I know that I am not going to change my mind, I am not happy, the job is not for me, and most importantly the people we support really shouldn’t have someone there who doesn’t want to be there.
How would you word a letter, email or call in this instance, please? I’ve never left a job in the UK, and don’t really know the correct, accepted etiquette.
Also, I would not be leaving with nothing to go to. I co-own a very small cleaning company and can continue with that for a bit.
Please be kind; I obviously feel like a complete knob leaving this job but there you go.
Thank you.
