Hi, I am a registered Nurse with 21yrs completed NHS service, I currently have a non clinical office only contract. But I work from home 3 days a week and go into the office/base 1 day a week. I have been in this role for almost 4yrs. I have recently been asked to begin 'reskilling' for clinical face to face practice. Now, I have actually deliberately gotten into a non clinical role, due to various physical health and mental health issues. My current health as a result, is the best it has been in 10-15yrs, my sick days now average maybe one day a year, whereas when I was clinical they were v high. Working non clinical has meant I didn't have to change career or take a pay cut. Having worked in the NHS for most of my adult life, I understand how they like to shuffle people and redefine job roles as part of frequent restructuring in the name of money. I have decided to see if redundancy is on the cards for my role and to openly state out loud yes pls. Aiming to drag out the process for a few months. I have accepted that i need to look at leaving Nursing for health reasons. I feel i have hung on in there for several yrs, whilst approx 90% of my nursing tutor group has now left Nursing for alternative careers due to stess/ burn out/ lifestyle changes etc. I have decided to retrain for admin roles in the evenings and on the side. Does anyone have any recommendations for courses / professional qualifications i should be looking at? I'm thinking basic to begin with. I know how much I need to earn minimum as a single parent household with a yr 8 secondary school child and a mortgage. Happy to listen, I'm not longer upset or losing sleep over the prospect of changing profession. Just looking for advice on training, I would like to aim for a job working in a school, or GP practice.
Also as a side note, I know I would need to notified in writing with at least 12weeks notice if they intend to change my role/ job description. Im also a realist about how things work and I have no fight left
