Secondment?

What does 'Secondment policy applies to internal staff' mean in a job advert?
Sorry if that's a really lame question but have no idea what that is.

It means internal staff applying could be considered for a secondment to the post, rather than switching jobs permanently.If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.0

Which means what? If they got the job they can have the other job back once this post ends (in 1 years time)?Sambucus_Nigra wrote: »It means internal staff applying could be considered for a secondment to the post, rather than switching jobs permanently.0 -

Yep - a secondment is an opportunity to take a role elsewhere for a period of time, whilst your substantive role is still yours, and you go back to it at the end of that time.
Sometimes a secondment might lead to you being made permanent in that role, or certainly puts you in a better position to apply for it if it becomes permanent.' <-- See that? It's called an apostrophe. It does not mean "hey, look out, here comes an S".0
