Look regularly at internal vacancies
You should make every effort to look at internal vacancies regularly to find and apply for all suitable redeployment opportunities.
You need to be flexible in considering redeployment opportunities and not to unreasonably disregard suitable opportunities or reject a suitable job offer.
Practice completing an online application form. You are able to save it and amend it at a later date. This way, when you see a post you want to apply for, you will have everything ready to tailor to the specific role, and apply.
Accepting a new role
You need to keep your manager up to date with any position you apply for and let them know as soon as you are offered a position, both internally or externally.
