Hi advice needed or advice on where to get advice!!
I work for the NHS and am on the redeployment register. I have worked for the NHS for 15 years and do not want to stop. I am currently on a substantial permanent contract.
I have been placed on the redeployment register. I am looking for a job or shortly I shall be dismissed on the grounds of capacity. I am applying for a fixed term post and wonder if anyone knows if i am about to make a big mistake. I understand that a fixed term contract has the same rights as a permanent employee, so for my understanding, there should be o difference. Any thoughts? I have had union advice which I am happy about, but need to check if anyone has experience etc.
