I work in a school kitchen and have for some years. Now my dc are older I don't really need to work school hours and have been thinking of something with more hours for ages, however nothing has been available nearby that would suit me. With the recent Coronavirus news I was convinced school would close for weeks and I wasn't sure if I would be paid, meanwhile a job did advertise in a local nursing home, which I have got an interview for.
Now schools are staying open so far, and I have been told I will be paid if the school should close. It's still less hours than the nursing home though. I feel a bit guilty to leave colleagues at school when they may be short staffed at a difficult time, however there is still a good chance the school could close and I feel working in the nursing home would be a good thing to do. I don't like the idea of being stuck at home for weeks if school closes and would rather be working.
Another worry is job security if I did get sick or we have to self isolate, as I am a new starter and they might just get rid of me. My dh has a condition on the list of vulnerable people although he means to keep working if he can (he can't WFH). I don't want to increase risk to him so this is another consideration.
