Low down on the (not so) new job

Well a few people have asked for some information on the new job and I haven't really known what to write. But here it is (long overdue!)

I finished working for Norfolk County Council- Children's Services, Central Area Youth Work team at the end of May. I was able to "shadow" the School's Manager for YMCA for a month before she went on maternity leave. Then it was just me in the job! Although I do only work three days a week (Hannah worked full time). Rachel has also gained some managerial responsibility so in theory, it should work out.

I have encountered some real challenges (recruiting three new members of staff), periodic moments of stress when funding reports are due and generally getting the hang of a new job.

But I've enjoyed the challenges and things seem to have worked out OK so far! My job entails managing people, dealing with their contracts and representing the YMCA at meetings. Today I ran some training, spoke to a head teacher, signed some forms and confirmed a team building event for next week (yay for Craig!)

The only way I can describe the job is that it's stretching- enough to be a challenge but not enough to be a burden.

If I've left any detail out, ask me a question!
