Forced hybrid working causing issues

[YouLookinSusBro]

I work for the NHS, band 5 in operations, so I manage a team of around 20 staff. About a year ago due to redevelopment of the area my office was on we were relocated to another area of the building. Unfortunately there wasn't enough space for everyone and since then I have been basically doing a combo of hot desking and working from home. I am really really struggling with this for a number of reasons.

1. I have ADHD and have found myself totally destabilised by this. It's hard enough to organise myself when I'm going back to the same desk each day but now I'm finding it impossible. I've made lots of mistakes and it's only a matter of time before I make a serious one. HOWEVER, no one at work is aware of my diagnosis and I'd like it to stay that way ideally.

1. As I said I manage a team of staff, and not knowing where I am is resulting in things like back to work chats not being done as I'm not necessarily onsite the same time as they are and then it gets forgotten.

1. I have basically been forced to WFH but don't really have a suitable space to do so. I have a nursery age child who is sometimes home during my working hours and I work on the kitchen table. Again concentration is really difficult.

1. I have a physical issue (work are aware) which I have a special chair for. This has been conveniently ignored and I'm sitting on a totally inappropriate chair at home which is causing me pain.

1. I feel so so undervalued and this is just making things worse. No allowances are made for the fact I've been put in this position and I often end up working 12 hour days at home just to get the bare minimum done.

I've just been off with COVID and now have a week's leave but the thought of going back is seriously making me anxious and I know the current situation isn't sustainable.

Any advice on what I can do to change things? Apologies for long post and thanks if you're still reading

Aware this a couple of weeks old but in case you've not done it yet I'd request an occupational health assessment from your manager and HR. Can always email them together saying you'd like one but you're not sure where to ask, please can they give you a steer.

Not an unreasonable post tbh. Either find a way of working that solves the issue, or make them aware of your diagnosis and demand reasonable adjustment.

I have to say though, grade 5 with 20 direct reports - bloody hell! Different sector appeal?

Thanks for all your replies, I'm still thinking this over but not done anything.
@drpet49 I agree with you. I had decided to deal with it myself when I was fully based onsite, even though I could still have asked for reasonable adjustments. However now things have changed, I am rethinking. Just don't know if it will do more harm in the long run by declaring.

To those that asked, yes my child is in nursery for the 2 days I'm supposed to be at home. However often things change at the last minute and I have to alter what I'm doing so can end up at home on a different day. My partner is currently unemployed and job hunting so he looks after DC when not in nursery. Not in a financial position to pay full time ' just in case', and anyway DC starts reception in September.

And yes 20, direct reports. And one point it was closer to 30 but I managed to lose some fortunately. Although be have another 3 starting soon. It's madness. Yes I've considered a move, but bizarrely it's my health holding me back.

Am definitely thinking about occ health, but I need to be sure I'm happy with it possibly getting back to manager first
