u/Internal-Question-36

Bit of a complicated situation, but I'll try and simplify it as much as possible;

Essentially - my employer is undergoing a massive, institution-wide restructure, citing cost-saving as the reason.

Although I have been matched to a job role in the new structure (there's a vacancy which is similar enough to a role that I've had in the past that I can just move into it without interview) it's for a job which I really, really don't want (I had several months off work with stress because of that role).

I don't want to take the job, but I don't want to apply for voluntary severance because there are a few other roles which might open up which I want to apply for (and I can't do that if I've taken voluntary severance).

What happens if I don't take voluntary severance or accept the role? Can they force me to take a role? Do I get put into redeployment, and then forced to take a role? If I keep rejecting offers do I just lose my job, as if I'd handed in my notice, or do they eventually have to pay me a severance package?

I can provide more information if needed.

Thanks in advance.

Hey all,

I'm currently living in Bristol, but my work is undergoing a major restructure and it's highly likely I'm going to get made redundant.

I'm looking to relocate to Leeds - but... It's hard.

The old Catch 22 of "need to live in the city to get a job", but "need a job to afford to live in the city".

I have experience working in universities, especially as a media technician, and some freelance camera work.

I've applied for a job on the Emmerdale crew, but I'm not holding out much hope.

I'd like a stable job, preferably office based - but I don't even really mind what.

Just need to be able to survive for a bit.

Does anyone know of anything?

Even websites which are better than Indeed?

Everything needs a hundred years experience - and although I'm trying not to let that put me off, it's not a great starting point.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.
