Anyone been in a position where ur job role has changed and therefore you have to look for a new one…

They have to keep a role open for you. The same or an equivalent role xx

I haven't been in this position but this might help you;

I actually thought they couldn't do it and had to offer you an alternative role if yours is no longer available when you return.

Perhaps give Citizens Advice a call? They will know the ins and outs hun xx

The role is changing as soon as I start mat leave as mum is starting college so they need more days and weekends. I won't be able to do it any longer as I can't bring baby with me (I'm a nanny) xx

They will have to provide u with another role u can't be forced out while on Mat leave!!! Even if they can't role requirements

@suzie80, there isn't another role. I'm a private nanny and the family demands are changing from September which is when I go on mat leave so there is nothing else that can be done😕

You need to speak to cab and get advice I think.

I am in the same situation @missy84 I'm a private nanny & they need someone straight away when I'm on mat leave & then after too. It will be difficult for me to take baby with me after mat leave as I look after 4 kids (5,7,10,12 years) when you add a baby into that it's going to be so hard. I don't know whether to ride out maternity leave or just tell them now that I don't think I will be able to return x

@emmaelaine, wow that's a lot of children! Would they be ok for you to take baby though if u do choose to come back? I was willing to come back after mat leave but as my role is changing on the same month as I'm leaving,she said that she needs someone for more days including Saturdays straight away so hence why I can't come back. The role ends completely come September next year as the boys are going to nursery full time x

I can take the baby, but I think if I do this then I will have to take a wage drop. It's so hard when you're working for just one person, but they can't tell you that as the role is changing you don't have a job. They should be looking for a Saturday babysitter. No job can add extra days and expect you to work it as that's no my per your contract. You are well within your rights to go back to that job role.

His her job to employ somebody for your mat period only. And provide you with similar hours. So I'd speak to cab
