If you really are a street pastor and are really asking how to tell less than the full truth on a CV I'm disappointed.

I did wonder that myself

Please note that if, as appears to be the case, you have been employed for less than 2 years, then you will have limited employment rights (e.g. re claiming unfair dismissal) if you are dismissed.

As others have said, honesty is definitely the best policy- you should include it on your CV, especially if you want to continue to work in a similar field.


I know it's hard but you must accept responsibility for your actions. Even though you should have received more support from your managers, the allegations made against you are basic health & safety issues. You have put vulnerable people at risk and it's pretty clear that this job is not for you.


However, perhaps you should consider working in an advice/information setting (similar to your voluntary experience), rather than a practical care job. What skills have you gained from your voluntary work? Without knowing more about the voluntary roles I would imagine that you are a good listener and could work as a befriender/mentor. If you search 'Think Care Careers', there's a list of Job Types in Care work- hopefully you will find something that you can see yourself doing.


Good luck!

Just followed the thread then asked a simple question, lighten up

No problem to lighten up but it would have been quicker to open another tab and type street pastor.
Enjoy

Street pastors are people from local churches who go into town centres late at night to support the drinkers is a short answer

im not suspended for the phone incident, thats an assumption on your part. and I also didnt claim that lack of support was the reason for all of my mistakes. anything useful to say?

You're wasting your time here from this post onwards.

Also I agree, care is NOT your thing.

Im sure most of us noticed it, but its too stupid for it to be true so ill assume its a troll name. Or maybe he is as much a pastor as he is a carer.
