Redeployment Policy - September 2026

1. Introduction

The Council, as part of its responsibility as an employer, recognises the need to support and assist in the redeployment of employees who are:

  • Under threat of redundancy;

  • Have ill health to the extent that they are unable to continue with the duties of their current job but may be able to carry out the duties of other jobs within the Council;

  • Under notice from a contract of employment which is over two years’ duration; and;

  • At the discretion of the Assistant Chief Executive (People, Digital and Policy), unable to continue employment in their current post due to exceptional circumstances.

Whilst the Council is committed to this process, we cannot guarantee that suitable alternative employment will be available in every case.
