I've been working pt as a finance officer since April.
The previous post holders retired jointly, leaving nobody with any knowledge of their processes.
The handover was 2.5 part time weeks for me and my f.t cpunterpart got 2 days of training.
Neither of us have a finance background.
We're expected to carry out financial assessments to check entitlements to a benefit.
We've a massive backlog as nobody can check the scant amount of assessments we've done.
We've told the manager who keeps promising extra help. It's not coming.
The admin has been on and off sickness since we started.
We're drowning. Nobody can help as nobody knows the job except the retired folk who were there 30 years.
To cap it all, we've been told we're being moved (nobody knows where to) and our Manager will no longer be our Manager (but they won't tell us who will be) and the SM has resigned without notice.
I'm struggling to keep going as I can't do the job in the time available. There's nobody to support or train or check our calculations.
The systems dont work. People argue when we request payrun authorisation....no manager wants to do it. It's weekly.
On the plus side the hours are good for me, money's good, good annual leave.
Wwyd?
