Hi there,
I am a support worker in a supported living facility for young adults with learning disabilities, I love my job but I work 24 hours at a time I start usually at 9am work until 11pm then do a sleep in at work (sometimes disturbed) and then work from 7am - 9am the following day. I’m struggling more mentally than physically at the moment I’m 31 weeks with my second and finding leaving my youngest at home for such a long time very difficult. There are other shifts available and I often do these along side the 24 hour shifts and I have mentioned this to my line manager who said she would try to accommodate this on the next rota, however I’ve received the next rota today and if anything my shifts have gotten worse. Any advice on where I stand on this or am I being unreasonable?
thank you.
