Evening all,
So in a nut shell while I was on mat leave the team I was in got tuped into another service and some of my colleagues were effectively constructively dismissed. Everyone else left and when it came time for me to go back to work I got a new role in general practice and I left too.
It looked great on paper, (training provided - it hasn't and I'm now seeing patients).
I've been at the top of band 4 for a while and it's a band 5 role. But it's been a nightmare since I started and I'm dreading going in. I basically work across several seperate GP practices. My manager I've met once. I emailed her last week because I thought she would have checked in more and she got back to me days later and said I'd next see her at a meeting were having with others in another week..so I've been there a month this week and been left to it.
I've had zero induction. Some practices have been nice and welcoming and others dismissive. I'm also suffering with back & neck pain because some of the chairs I have to use all day are broken.
My last role I loved and it was agile. Sadly it was a bit of a pilot scheme in the NHS so I can't just apply for the same role elsewhere. It's made me realise that I'm never going to get anywhere in the NHS. I've spent 17yrs in it trying to do my OT training but the gov keep changing the rules/entry requirements.
Has anyone else left the NHS? I think I have a ton of transferable skills. The main thing ATM is I need flexibility around the kids and their schedules (school hours). My old manager was really flexible and as long as we got our work done she didn't mind us working outside of core hours to log off for the school run etc. And we all thrived and we're really happy. I'm currently physically unwell and feeling so deflated. Any advice would be appreciated. Tia
