I’ve got a job!
That is my great news this morning, yesterday I had an interview and now I have a job. How great is that? The last 2 months have been hard for me and those around me, I have been forced to take a good long hard look at myself and think about what is important to me. This has resulted in what will be a complete change of direction as I enter the strange world now of commissioning and the even darker and more mysterious world of acute children’s services and maternity services. I am going to be busy, I am going to be learning lots of new stuff, it is going to be challenging but hopefully it is going to be a good move for me.
The last couple of months have been tough, I have been forced to examine my values, I have had to manage the often bizarre thought processes going through my mind as I struggled with the feeling that I was no longer wanted within my own service. I also had to fight against being pigeon holed into a job that people wanted to make up for me. Who knows how this new move will pan out, but once again I feel in control of my own destiny, and for me that is the most important thing!

Thanks both of you. It should give me some new material for my blog at the very least!

Many congratulations - great news! Though I fear Dr Crippen will be even more convinced you’re an NHS Administrator! Seriously, really pleased for you and hope all works out for you. How long ’til you start the new role?

Hi Julie … am so very pleased for you. I hope that the new job proves to be truly interesting and satisfying. Above all I hope that your new team-mates will prove to be a supportive and happy bunch of people.
Congratulations, indeed!

Thanks Liza, I am resigned now to my administrator status, having been called that again last weekend! I will be part of a new team, Lesly and am looking forward to us getting to know each other. A report from UNICEF today ranks British Children’s experiences as the worst in the world, there is obviously lots to do!
