Both our redundancy redeployment and protection of earnings policy and our tips on applying for jobs and interview preparation document are attached in our related documents section at the end of this page.
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.

Skills audit form
You should complete this form if you have been advised that you are in receipt of redeployment support. The form gives your redeployment officer details from you 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. 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.
