Will my job offer be withdrawn?

[Alice558]

Hi Guys,

I am just looking for some advice really....

I was recently offered a HCA job in the NHS and i previously left my old workplace due to bullying. I was off sick for 2 months and i have declared this in my occupational health questionnaire.

Now, I left back in October, and i was in the fortunate position to leave as I had savings, enough where i could not sign on the dole. I provided 2 references for the past 3 years from my two previous jobs, however because i was unemployed from October to now they are asking me for a reference in that space. So they want one from October to January (when i was offered the job). I have explained to them I have no social circle and i know no one, i mean NO ONE (of high standing). I have asked my dentist, optician and teacher and doctor and they have all refused to give a job reference.

I have been explaining this for about a month now to them but i feel like i am going around in circles and i just want to know where i stand, does it seem likely they will withdraw the offer?

Thank you
Alice

You’d get:
£61.05 per week if 18 - 24
£77 per week if over 25

Yes I'd go to the person who interviewed & possibly go as far as asking for a manager or their complaints process if you contact HR again as the responses you are getting are unacceptable - somewhere a department is desperate for you to start so it's in their best interests that this is sorted out

I still don't fully understand what they are asking for to be honest though as you can't prove what you were doing during a gap

Ask your local vicar/ priest or family friend to say you helped "volunteer" to look after their kids or something

Or volunteered to dog walk
