My foot is now in the door and life looks rosey again

Next friday I'm being made redundant after 27 years but months before I knew I started to make in roads on a new career.
It took me months but yesterday I finally received an Enhanced CRB check and today the Young Offenders Detention Centre rang to say I can start tomorrow as a Learning & Skills Tutor

Its only voluntary for now but everybody and their dog have told me that if I can handle the 'trainees' and go through my inductions I shouldn't have a problem.
I've already been warned that I'll be working with some really nasty characters and some have been in the headlines.

Wish me luck.

Funny thing is my mates now think that the CRB is a license (liscence) to hit them

thanks

How does that work then? Do you teach from behind a large guard of a wire fence or something? Cant say I would want to be left in a room with a bunch of detainees like that.

All the best anyways.
