I transferred but was told I would have to reduce my hours to 30 took the chance and since I moved I have worked 39,on a temporary full time contract. For what its worth the internal transfer process is a farce had to go to my DO of choice to make the move! Went on special leave until a vacancy came up so 2 months without pay but it was the summer :nana

I'm looking at other vacancies around the country and was wondering how easy it was to transfer. Cheers :crazy:

I'm visiting an area that has a vacancy this week. Could I just pop in and ask to see the manager about the vacancy, or should I call first?

Actually, looking at this, I'm thinking it could be a very smooth transition. My current and first contract runs out in 2 weeks and the role I am looking at is permanent. I think i could easily move myself and start in 3 weeks if the other office were willing to take me.
