Hi all, Thanks for reading my post. I took on a new role in a school about 6 months ago and it turns out that the role was absolutely not for me. It’s completely ruined my mental health and confidence and I know I need to get out before I become seriously unwell. The situation is that I have actually secured a new role, but this doesn’t start until January. My notice period is only a month and I’m desperate to give it in, but I can’t afford to not work for 2 months. I also haven’t yet had a probation review, it’s due in 2 weeks on the 22nd. While I greatly need some time off to cope with the stress, not only is it horribly stigmatised by my leadership, as I’m still in my probation period, I’m afraid that they would terminate my contract. I am in counselling for the issues caused by the job and am continuing to drag myself in every day. Does anyone have any advice for surviving the next 2 months until I can give notice? Thank you so much.
