If you’re interested in applying and excited about working with us but are unsure if you have the right skills and experience we’d still love to hear from you.

Internal candidates should ideally have completed their 6-month ‘getting started’ period before applying for other roles. You should also advise your current line manager at the point you make an internal application, or at the latest, at the point of being invited for an interview.

All internal candidates applying for a secondment, must have:

completed their getting started period

discussed their intention to apply and gained approval to apply with their line manager

been in their substantive (home) role for at least 6 months (this is only applicable if you have previously been on secondment)

If you do not confirm that you meet these requirements, we will not be able to progress your application.
