Questions re possible restructure

Currently in consultation period for a restructure.

have worked for 8 years in a band 5 NHS admin role.

in the new structure, job descriptions have been completely rewritten and the banding is currently at a band 4.  The job will be very different to what I am doing now.  There are 6 posts going to 5, all 6 are in scope and there will be a competitive process for the 5 roles.

I’m not really sure if i want to stay,  i have a lot going on in my life and my current role allows me flexibility and autonomy and I don’t think this will continue in any new role.

2 people on the restructure team work in the department, we have been told that 1 of them will slot into a higher banded admin role the only band 5 in the new structure - the job description for that role matches my current job spec more than the other admin roles that we are going to be pooled for - I feel this is a bit underhand, and although nothing has been mentioned about the other one we can all see which role they will slot into.

Am in a union.

really looking for some guidance on how to play this going forward.  Haven’t had a 121 meeting yet and not really sure what to and what not to tell them ?   I have submitted my comments but haven’t had a response as yet.
