Ok so I've only been in current NHS role for a couple of months. I found it quickly as the other NHS service I was employed on before we closing down and I was facing possible redundancy. When I found this new job (the one I've been doing for a couple of months) I knew it would be a pain in terms of travel (out of the way location, no viable bus route, I don't drive yet and have to get taxis costing £30 a day).
The team I've been working on for the past couple of months are lovely, very small, close-knit team without any bitchy-ness, office gossip etc that you might find in other places. They've been so lovely and accommodating of me (letting my WFH a couple of days per week). However, they want me at the office more now as we've just had new phonelines installed and part of my role is to man the phones and great visitors etc.
Sooo.. as lovely as the team is, I've had to keep looking for something closer to home to avoid the expensive taxis. Buses aren't an option, would take me about 2 to 3 hours with several changes to get there by bus, too much messing about as I also have a young child to get to school in the mornings. I'm a single parent too.
Long story short... I've got in interview for another NHS job (locally to where I live) next week but haven't mentioned anything about this at work. I have a meeting with my manager next week (before the interview though) so I just feel a bit "sneaky" for plotting to leave when they've been so kind and wecolming to me, sending me on loads of helpful training, showing me the ropes of the job etc. Only for me to leave (if successful with the interview) after just a couple of months.
Obviously don't want to say anything unless I get the new job but, if i do, then how do I approach my manager and how can I explain my reasons? Feeling rubbish about the idea of just jumping ship when they've invested a lot of time and resource in me. AND they've been letting me WFH, but have made it clear that I'm expected in the office more going forwards because of the the new phonelines and visitors etc.
WWYD?
