Pros
I started the first few years at NHS SC loving my job. It was close to home, the office was nice & there was promise of good opportunities. At first my manager was always supportive.
Cons
My manager’s attitude changed after some struggles with mental health. I had a CIPS course approved which was then taken away because of mental health which is clear discrimination. Then the bullying just got worse. I followed all the appropriate processes & then raised a formal grievence against my manager (this would have been the 4th raised against the manager for identical reasons). Whilst conducting the grievance I had no other option but to be off work on half pay for 3 months. In summary the treatment towards staff with any mental health issues is atrocious.
