Managed moves in DWP

Same grade (level transfer)? You should look at internal vacancies/expressions of interest and see how your experience fits what may be available...

There may be an application/interview process for any move (but probably less demanding than formal recruitment), so I'd start thinking about success profiles, preparing/brushing up a personal statement / CV etc.

But if you've just started, it may be a while (a year or more) before you can move to another Civil Service job. There usually are barriers to people moving within their probation period before they get confirmed. Are you a permanently appointed Civil Servant already?

If you're an AO and you're looking for an EO role, that's a formal promotion - so you'll need to apply, probably via CS Jobs, or a similar site.

I meant when I become a EO Work Coach (I have a start date for next month)

You'll probably find there's an expectation you stay in the WC role for a bit (at least a year), before moving on to another EO role.

You can move more quickly, but I'd do it by leaving DWP completely.

(As a hiring manager I massively hate it when people, take a job, get trained and move within a few months, it is a total waste of my time recruiting and training, and can adversely affect the team).

Ah okay, when applying for internal vacancies can your manager stop you from applying for them if they don’t want you to leave so soon?

They can't stop you applying, but they might try to block the move.

I have just started a work coach role at DWP and I was just wondering whether it is possible to do a managed move from a work coach role to a different role within DWP/how easy is it to move roles once you’re in DWP?
