Unusual NHS contract situation

Newheight13

Hi,

I work for the NHS and was made permanent a few years ago but have  been seconded a few times and am a few vans ahead to what I was. Where I’m seconded now is being transferred to a different part of the organisation where there will be no role for me. I’m unable to go back to my original role where I was made permanent as that team and branch no longer exists. Where do I stand?

Thanks

Depends on what exactly was agreed when you went on secondment. You'll need to discuss with your employer, but given the huge number of vacancies in the NHS at present, I very much hope something suitable will be identified for you in short order.

Made me chuckle because of the current ambulance queuing saga. Bands I guess you meant
You obviously can't go back to a job that no longer exists but there are so many jobs available in the NHS. Discuss with your current manager and if you can with your previous manager (find them on linkedin etc if you need to) and see what might be a good fit for you.

The secondment ends and you in theory return to your original department, if that no longer exists then it is for that original department to assist you in finding another role or I suppose consider making you redundant. Just check that the secondment didn't ever become a permanent transfer as that sometimes happens. In which case it would be your current department that has the contractual obligations.
