I wonder if someone can help.
I started a new job in March 2013 as self employed person but working for an agency that supports families. I worked ad hoc only a few hours a week and shadowed someone to learn the job. I didn't actually get any hours until July 2013. I've done approx 2-3 hours per week since then and training days too. Beginning of Jan 2014 I was offered a contract starting in April 3 days a week for 6 months working on my own (not shadowing) and getting experience to then do the last 9 months of a 1 year maternity cover. So since jan I've been working at office (usually just visit homes) doing paperwork and visiting homes. Even discussed with supervisor how I was so pleased for contract and that childcare was in place etc. Then in supervision my supervisor said that I was unable to have contract now and if I wanted to cover maternity then I could apply. I'm so shocked! I assume they are legally allowed to do this? Does anyone else think this is horrendous? Or is it totally normal to change Minds?
