Flexible working as a radiographer
I’m band 6 working in a private hospitality for almost 2 years now and I’m considering speaking to my manager to change to compressed hours. Currently I work Monday to Friday and I’m on call weekends every 4-6 weeks but since last year that on call has become much more regular. And the workload has just become a lot more busy! I’ve noticed that I have a pattern of working hard for weeks and then crashing every 5/6 weeks where I end up taking a sick day off or forcing myself to go in but being miserable the whole day. I don’t know what’s going on with me. But I think perhaps working 3/4 days a week might make it easier as I’ll have 1-2 days a week which might help. I don’t know how to pose it to my manager as we are already understaffed in our department but I don’t think my current work pattern is sustainable for me anymore.
