Just under a year ago I was asked to take over the role of our HR Officer who has tendered her resignation. Since then I have been performing the duties as requested without anything about my change in duties being confirmed in writing. Contractually my position is Site Administrator at a specific site although my contract does state that they may require me to work at other locations within the UK.

My employers have recently brought on board an HR Manager, based at out HO, and have informed me that the only long-term position they have available for me is a return to site administration but at another site other than that mentioned in my contract; travelling to the new site will add approximately 4 hours travelling time and 100 miles per week to my weekly journey which is unsuitable for me as I am a carer for an elderly relative.

My contractual position was filled on a permanent basis last summer when I was asked to take over the HR role within the organisation.

I know what I think about where I stand but would welcome any advice?
