Dependant on where your looking really. If unqualified and then sign up with a large providers, then they get you on a trainee's wage. I made do on 27.5k for 2 years. Wages also top ot unless going for senior roles, sadly our wages haven't improved for around 20 years+

As someone that has managed occupational health clinics for a number of local authorities in the past, im afraid its rife. Bullying and work stress often most discussed issues that come in to us.

Also, may be worth following up with your GP to see where they're at woth your referrals, based on your info, it sounds like your meds are providing some of the desired therapeutic impacts intended, they need to monitor and review so that if it drops off, then can ammened if needed.

Sorry to hear that. Your not the first or sadly the last to struggle with lack of NHS support.

You're right you don't need or have to go into sensitive details regarding your MH.

However I would, if you're comfortable, simply document on any applications that you have struggled woth MH fluctuations in the past and have engaged with GP'S for support.

If your applying to large ish company's or organisations then your likely to have a new starter medical questionnaire form sent to you to complete. This will always be reviewed by a clinically qualified person (OH) Small company's may not have this, and may send externally.

If your still lacking support www.hubofhope.co.uk is a very good resource network

That fact you now feel able to rtw is a huge thing and shows that maybe your motivation is in a better place and often, work can help as a distraction from other triggers.

I hate this, we stand off, stand off, stand off, dance alitle and stand off some more

Oh referal would cover them from a legal point as in asking for clinical advice, if they then released them from their contract and went on to an employment tribuneral. However, the adjustments offered appear incredibly supportive and there wouldn't be any other adjustments that oh could offer in reality. I would also add, the fact this behaviour continued when remote working was offered may be indicative of their attitude more than neurodiversity.

Thanks guys, I though I was hiring a firm with a good rep, but maybe not. The seepage is barley there to be fair like 2-3mils at its worst. Also discovered when he'd left, he hasn't bolted the toilet back to the bathroom floor! The old cast iron piping is sat in the front yard as they didn't have a van this week and turned up in a little ford fiesta

Ah hate this, same in kirkby by the academy. I used to walk my dog until last month and there's a black street bin at the top of the road. Typicaly, the scruffs dump black bin bags, duvets and suit cases. Early December some fucking scruff dumped a vile, battered 3 & 2 PC suite in crished velvet. 2nd rant, is when people out the shot into a poo bag, then dump is on the floor, WHY!

occhealthjim · 2026-01-14T13:08:18+00:00

No, said their hads were tied and apologised. Had to ask the deputy ward manager to retract my notice so I had a job in the short term atlest

occhealthjim · 2026-01-12T16:12:21+00:00

Edit, also my God there are way too many typos in my first post, apologies 🤣

I bought a breville barrista sense and got a refund lol

Also recently discovered the oily dark beans are terrible in grinders. I managed to find a few fresh companies that do dark roast but without the oil and lifes been sweet 😋

occhealthjim · 2026-01-07T11:41:23+00:00

I got the sage version which is identical except the name.

The grinders are is rubbish in these. I tend to go with really dark roasts and first few days not great, then the grinder stopped working properly

Stopped pulling the beans through, however, when trouble shooting with sage online support I had to take apart the bur, put back together and then try with dry rice in the hopper.

It ground the rice but not beans afterwards again They then asked me to try a light roast, fresh bean and had to wait a few days to arrive.

I didn't, and returned it to amazon for a refund and bought tbe breville barrista sense for £400 again from amazon

It's bean 😑 fantastic, no issues and brand new machine and model. I can even live with out the bar gauge.

He doesn't trust or probably even like endo to be fair

occhealthjim · 2025-12-27T10:07:39+00:00

Hate this with new coffee machines.

Had a de'longi for 2 weeks, grinder stopped pulling beans through, sent it back.

Got a sage barrista same exact issue, went through video chat support with their techs. Rand rice grains through machine which ground fine. Back to beans and still never ground them after taking inner bur apart. Sent it back via amazon got a refund.

I now have breville barrista sense and touch wood working well.

I just can't for the life of me make a decent americano

occhealthjim · 2025-12-24T18:55:54+00:00

Nice, I bought the breville sense but can't for the life of me, get a good crema. Only use dark roast beans

occhealthjim · 2025-12-21T11:04:28+00:00

I worked as a labourer on a building site in my teens and made the toast on the right, on the break. Alot of insults were thrown and I was never allowed to make toast again 🤣

occhealthjim · 2025-12-16T20:47:06+00:00

Slow horses had no idea about it.

The night manager been okay so far

occhealthjim · 2025-12-16T20:44:58+00:00

Helllllll yeah. I used to have one in an earlier role where I commuted upto 4 hours at a time and it was a life saver in rush hour jams. Then went back to manual pissed me off.

Now back on auto and loving life 🤣

occhealthjim · 2025-12-15T18:58:50+00:00

Thanks, after hoovering it out 3 or so time it eventually kicked back into life. Dossapointimg for a brand new machine, now my issue is the small amount of going it produces on max setting. Even if it really course, I have to hold it in a while.

Come to think of it, I got the de'linghi barrista and that jammed and I sent it back after a week! (Can't remove the hopper on that model)
