I’d say a low paid job is better than no job! Go for it. Good luckDoes anyone work as or have experience as a maternity care assistant? I’m a new graduate who has just completed a science degree at a Russell group university who’s really been struggling to find a job and the only interview I’ve gotten so far is for this role. The pay is really low, only band 2 but a job is a job and I’m not sure what to expect! I have no idea if this is something I want to do but I could really use the experience and money so just wanted to ask if anyone has any advice or experience. Open to good or bad experiences. Thanks!
I’ve seen a lot of new graduates say recently they are struggling to find jobs. I agree with a job is better than no job. The next employer will look at the fact that you showed willing.Does anyone work as or have experience as a maternity care assistant?

I got offered an interview a few days ago for a role I never thought I’d be qualified for, I replied asking to clarify if it was permanent or fixed term and had no reply. Job hunting is so frustrating!!!
That might be due to it being school hols. I agree with the poster above re the wish list - if someone ticks every box some interviewers will assume they will bore of the role quickly too, and would rather have someone who they can develop into the role, you just never know! Good luck, I hope you go for itI got offered an interview a few days ago for a role I never thought I’d be qualified for, I replied asking to clarify if it was permanent or fixed term and had no reply.

Hey! New to the tread but looking for advice. I’ve just been offered a new role within the same company. It’s a step up but the salary is only 5k more, I make the same doing the odd few hours overtime however the banding goes up 11k more then what I’m on now. Issue is they have now said the new role will be 4 days in office instead of the two I do now. It will also be shift work with early starts and late evenings 6am-10pm and working some weekends. This wasn’t on the job advert.
I’m not sure what to do. I need a new role and something I can progress within but I also value my time!!!
I would have to get a second car as I also car share and working those shifts would make that impossible.
What would you do? Anyone been in same situation
I haven't been in your situation, but overall, it sounds like a bad deal to me, to be honest. I understand that you would like to move up, but from the description that upwards movement isn't giving YOU any value, just the company.
Even if you had a second car already, you'd be spending extra time in the office (which you might not want), doing shift work, which is hard on the body and can make your daily life a lot more complicated, plus weekends. All for 5k extra that you can earn right now anyway.
5k will hardly get you a second car, much less petrol, insurance, etc.
Do you think you could try to negotiate for more? Especially if this wasn't on the advert at all, I find it quite sneaky and who know what else isn't listed that only comes out after you agree... I think I would decline, unless they offer you substantially more.
Yes! I ALWAYS get really good feedback about my work and performance yet also ALWAYS feel I've somehow pulled the wool over their eyes and one day they'll realise I'm actually useless! As for the latter, if I liked the job but just didn't have much in common with those I work with I'd stay, if they are plain unpleasant I'd look for something else as I think thats symptomatic of a bad work culture. People should be polite and generally well behaved at work.Does anyone suffer with imposter syndrome? I love my job just not the people I work with, would yous start looking for something else?
I'd recommend a mixture of agency and direct.I kinda feel this is the best thread to post in but not really related to hating my job.
Next year I need to start looking for a new job and don’t know where to start. I’ve been in the same position with the same company for 20 years.
I have no clue how to “sell” myself. Is the best thing to join a recruitment agency or should I just apply directly?
On a side note are there lots of part time jobs available as I wouldn’t want to go back to full time?
