A bit of background. I work in a school in a specialised role (I am not a teacher). You need to be qualified with X amount of experience to do this role. I applied for this position approximately 3 years ago after I burned out at work. My line manager is not qualified and has worked his way up after working in the organisation for over 30 years. He has responsibility for 4 campuses as the organisational-wide lead. Each campus has someone like me employed. However, he continues to handle part of my job responsibilities on campus. This is not the way it is at the other campus. But every day I feel undermined.
An example of this is we have a student volunteer programme and one of my jobs is to ensure the volunteer coordinator ensures all risk assessments and safeguarding are up to date. In addition to leading safeguarding training for the students. I spoke with the volunteers coordinator and we agredd a date to meet and dicuss and create the presention for the studetns. But unbeknownst to me, he had gone straight to the volunteer coordinator to make all the arrangements, and then she called me, obviously confused, and as he is the organisational lead, I just got side lined . When i bought this up with him, he just said its just one less thing for me to worry about and hes sorted it.
I have spoken to him several times about this and also escalated to one of the school's deputies, but nothing has changed.
Other staff members still direct questions to him, and he also takes initiative without referring to me. I was really embarrassed, as the school year starts next week and last week he returned early as SLT. I am not SLT (although on the other campus, my contemporaries are) and I was put down with him to do a speech to the whole school about the year ahead. But I wasn't aware of this at all, and he asked that I go up with him and do part of it. Then I stood there as he waffled on about irrelevant stuff and didn't even introduce me. There are new staff and they just kept looking at me weirdly. I felt like crying after this. It was so embarrassing. After this, the staff who know me came up to me, making jokes about me being a 'trolly dolly' and WTF was that. They also complained about how boring his talk was and pointless, and they said I need to tell him to stop doing this.
I am a bit stuck in the job thouogh as my kids arttend the school on a full bursary but every time the school reconvenes after a break, i feel so ill and anxious about going back. What do i do??
