Have you ever had to leave a job because of a lack of support? What do you wish had been different?Yes I had to leave a job, a job I loved, my dream job in fact. I had trained long and hard to get it and had hoped to progress in this field, however, I worked for a small charity, run on a small budget, so aside from costs they couldn't afford or reasonable adjustments they simply weren't in any position to put in place, there were also obviously huge health and safety issues regarding the children in my care.
There was no way in the world I could have been near children incase they knocked against my affected limb let alone the notion of safeguarding any children in my care from falls or injuries themselves.
It just wasn't practical for me to continue to do anymore.
Even when I attempted to help children's reading at the local junior school voluntarily, things were too difficult for me to sustain carrying on.
More importantly, to make good progress, in educational settings children desperately need consistency and continuity, so any rapport which we built up was lost again when I was off poorly.
