Hi I have a question which I would appreciate someone with some experience could possible answer. I have had a conditional offer for rail shunter in Penzance and I only have my medical to go. Problem is I have suffered from severe depression for a number of years and take an anti depressant (SSRI)
I understand for safety critical roles this may and probably will go against me. However I am currently employed by first group in a safety critical role (First Bus) and previous to this also held a safety critical role in health and social care for 6 years.
Will they take it on a case by case basis? I honestly can’t believe I have been offered this opportunity after passing all tests and 2 hour interview and to fall at this hurdle would hurt!
my depression though long standing has no bearing on my work ethic or performance.
if anyone could help me maybe they have had a similar situation and what was their experience I would greatly appreciate it.
I hope I’ve posted this in the right place. (My first post) thanks guys.
