NHS role too much

Hi,

Started a band 7 role a few months ago as x and y lead and this in itself is a big role. I was only really interested in x but, reluctantly, accepted the role as I didn’t think y would demand as
much of my time as it is. I am struggling with the workload. Anxiety etc. kicking in.

I have now been informed that I am having z added to my role and I definitely wouldn’t have accepted the post with this as it isn’t my area/interest. I feel like x is suffering as I’m not spending as much time on it as I would like.

This role is normally 3 separate roles at other trusts. I’ve worked as a 7 before. Past colleagues are a 7 and only doing x, y or z.

Im looking for another job but what can I do? The workload will finish me.

Some of these roles are huge and there is definitely disparity across the NHS. Are you able to speak to your line manager? It is still early days and maybe you are doing more than is expected of you? Are there other people who you can delegate some stuff to?
