I got offered a new job this week. Well, a new role within the charity I already work for rather than a new job. The thought of it is really exciting, it's an amazing role in so many ways, and the fact that I've been offered it is a massive confidence boost. At the same time though, it really scares me. It's working with young runaways and those at risk of sexual exploitation, so involves a lot of safeguarding and working with the Police and Social Services. I know I'm capable of doing it, but the responsibility is pretty overwhelming.
It also means I have to tell some service users I've been working with for years that I'll no longer be working with them - conversations I really don't want to have. I know their lives will keep going and they'll still be supported by the service, and maybe it's more my stuff that I don't want to let them go. Maybe I've got too attached. Either way, it's going to hurt.
