Job stress, expectations

[chocolatesweets]

I've started a new job and they are ambiguous about my job role. Not on purpose, I genuinely think it's a lack of organisation or thought.

It's not what I expected and I am placed in social services, child protection. I'm expected to visit client's houses (something I wasn't aware of prior applying). I would've never applied. I'm scared and I haven't had any training.

I've raised my concerns but I feel like a diva.
I feel embarrassed taking time off due to stress. I don't have work to do but the expectation to visit dangerous houses is making me feel ill.

I am also disappointed because I thought it was a great opportunity.

Are you just beginning your career? I have heard that, because no one wants to visit those situations, they give those jobs to newcomers which is so unfair. Can you talk to your supervisor saying you have had no training for how to deal with situations that arise and don't feel you are the person to be dealing with it. Otherwise just leave and get a different job and don't mention this job on your CV. Going into dangerous situations on your own with no support is total madness.
Have they given you a list of your duties?
Was there a list in the job specification and did it say house visits? You have nothing to lose by questioning them .

Yes I am beginning my career.
I have two small children and I don't want to be in dangerous situations. It says some home visits but nothing about aggressive clients. And also not alone. I'm also scared of covid. I was desperate to work because kids are hard work. We can't afford nursery.
