I know someone who was in a similar position and the circumstances under which my temp (agency) contract ended were not too good either.
Basically you look for a job - any job. Look on it as a 'loss leader' if necessary. Agencies and small businesses are a better bet than councils/big organisations. Shamelessly use any contacts. That then becomes your most recent employer. Really, put as much employment distance between you and the one which sacked you.
The tricky bit comes if you are asked at application stage if you ever had a disciplinary action against you. As in 'ever'. Then comes the tough decision as to whether you are honest.
Frankly it's a question I have always wondered about, seeing as I used to work for an organisation which seemed to bully and sack people on a whim. I mean even former criminals get second chances don't they...0 -
well thanx for everybodies response etc and good words.
like i said at the moment i am getting loads of ovetime at the nhs but knowing things there it will stop one day but i a hoping to get a full time contract so then it will be happy days.
but i am hoping to get full time employment elsewhere. i will be puting down the nhs as my latest employer and to be honest i will get a very good reference offf them and as for the other job i will put down that i was dismissed and explain it.blimey 22 years employment and no problems and just 2 swear words which wosen even at a customer, must count for something.0 -

Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.

No she hasn't as i SERIOUSLY doubt, unless there was a security issue, using facebook would be calssed as Gross Misconduct.
At the very least , it's gross stupidity to post comments about your colleagues or superiors or workplace where the whole world can read it.
I heard of someone who got caught writing something like "my boss thinks I'm off sick, but I've gone to glastonbury"0
