Hi,

I have been offered a job as a HCSW Band 2 within NHS Scotland and I am having some trouble getting a reference I was a Unpaid carer from 2020 to 2025 and only entered into employment in 2025 I have gotten 3 references but they only cover one year they have asked me to provide a character reference for 2023-2025 but I don't have anyone who can, I used a family friend and it was rejected for being a friend and I am sort of stuck on who to ask, I wasn't in education from 2020 until 2025 and didn't have any jobs or do anything within the community or volunteering so I am a Bit confused on who to ask, I have explained my situation but they aren't taking it into consideration, if there is anything i can do to help.
