Redeployment
Redeployment support is available to employees who are placed at risk of redundancy
If you're an 'at risk ' employee, you're entitled to paid time off to attend interviews for both internal and external vacancies. This has to be agreed with your manager.
You can also claim any excess interview mileage or fares.
See our redeployment FAQs
A recording which summarises some of the redeployment provisions for those identified as at risk of redundancy that are listed on this page has been put together.
The recording highlights some key points on redeployment and is available on SharePoint.
Skills audit form
You should complete this form if you've been advised that you are at risk of redundancy. The form provides details about your job search criteria as well as information about the skills and qualifications you hold.
This data will be held centrally and may support us in identifying any suitable alternative employment, should opportunities arise.
Whilst it is the responsibility of the employee to actively seek redeployment, if we identify a role that has similar terms and hours, we reserve the right to offer this as suitable alternative employment.
