Hi!
having been unemployed for some time now, Ive recently taken a job with a well known British Company.
However, Its not what I thought it would be, and after one week, Im thinking of leaving.
Does anyone know what I'd be entitled to in terms of benefits if I leave?
Im a single mother with no partner, and am deperately searching for something else.
Many thanks.

You say you are a single mother, how old is your child?
If you voluntarily leave employment and then try to claim JSA you will be sanctioned for up to 26 weeks.0 -

Not many people do like working and we would all like a job we love but you seriously cannot expect to claim benefits just because you feel like it.
Stay in your job until you get another.~Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone.~:)

Stay where you are and look for another job.
Millions of us do jobs every day we dont like, but needs must, you are capable of working to support yourself and your child
You can be sanctioned up to 26 weeks and rightly so.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -

What an example to set to your 12 year old. Been there five minutes, can't hack it, oh I'll just leave and scrounge off the state. Yeah, why not just stay home and watch Jeremy Kyle instead eh? !!!!!!.

Would the OP be entitled to benefits if she was sacked for the job?January GC: £64.81/£80.00

I asked about the age of your child to see if you are eligible for income support, but your child is too old.
As someone above asked was it a work trial? How long have you worked there?0
