Alternative employment programme

Redundancy or your employment coming to an end can happen because of:

restructuring
organisational change
ill health
a disability
a lack of capability to perform your current role

We value your skills, knowledge and experience and aim to retain these wherever possible. As part of a range of support you will have the opportunity to apply for roles with priority consideration to allow you the opportunity to continue working at the council and continue to deliver excellent services.

Our programme works with:

an employee being placed on the Alternative Employment Programme
the line manager of an employee being placed on the Alternative Employment Programme
a recruiting manager with an application from an employee on the Alternative Employment Programme
