transfer to a new mail centre?

[highbury67]

I have recently started at Medway mc. However, the way the place is and the way the managemenr or some of acting there, I can't see myself being there a long time particularlyvwith my current relief line manager. I was wondering whether I could apply for a transfer to a new maul centre at this stage. Maybe somewhere more accessible oow when I wouldn the train too? Any help would be great.

The transfer policy has changed.

The revised system will change the dynamic of requesting a transfer to real time application, when the job becomes available. This will happen by the individual logging onto the Royal Mail website and registering an on line application setting out a criteria of preferred locations within a specified mileage radius, contractual hours, position and type of job. This will also include setting up an email alert that is triggered if/when a job becomes available that meets the individual’s criteria. They will then have to confirm their application and willingness to transfer to this vacancy.

Revised System

• Policy negotiated and introduced by agreement, including a full joint review
• All individuals on the existing list will be given priority over new applications and placed in the order of length of time on the transfer list
• Thereafter, length of service (seniority with appropriate skills) will be the criteria for filling a vacancy.
• No debarment for individuals who have conduct or attendance warnings- unless disciplinary transfer (for two years) only.
• No telephone interviews or selection criteria involving the receiving manager.
• Individuals can apply for a transfer on line without the knowledge or involvement of their line manager, if they wish.
• Allows individuals larger search criteria with more options of locations.

I was wondering whether I could apply for a transfer to a new maul centre at this stage.

Is it that bad?

Thankyou for all your help there Fishtank and that is very good and helpful information for any transfer I do.

I didn't see that typing error about the maul centre!

Mind you feel like mauling one of the managers in charge at times! Maybe put them in a rugby scrum!

How do I find out what posititions are available at other mail centres? What is the website for that?

Have you moved from one of the old MC's to the new one? The nearest MC's to that would be either one of MC's in London or Gatwick.
Surely you must've had a meeting regarding your options before moving to the new MC?

If you have transferred to the Medway mail centre as a result of the London Mail Centre programme you can decide to come back within 4 weeks of the move but obviously it will depend on if the old mail centre has closed.

But I know of Indivduals going back to the Mount, East and South and then getting their second preference.

I would contact your old area rep.
