I've worked for my employer for a number of years, during which I have been promoted a number of times and have earnt a very good reputation and respected for my professional skills and knowledge.
I began to get bored last year, wanting to progress to the next grade (making me senior leadership team) however it was apparent no one at the grade was ever going to leave.
An opportunity came up in another department at the grade. I took a big risk& went for it. Six months on I am really struggling. There has been next to nO training and I have no one to really bounce off or get advice from, my boss is never around. My colleagues have been in post for a while and know what they are doing, but relunctant to help me.
My work is piling up and I am not achieving anything. I can't sleep through worry of it. I am so worried I just can't do this and have been iverpromoted. I have hinted to my boss and she says I'm great, need a bit more time and there will be training but in the meantime I feel hugely alone and scared.
For background, I really need my job as I am a single parent to two kids whose father has nothing to do with us. I have no other financial support.
I would really welcome some practice advice and maybe hand holding. Thank you x
