Hi all. Wondering if anyone can advise.
I work in management (low level) for a care company. I have just been told as of about an hour ago that my service is closing down/amalgamating with other services and my post is being made redundant.
In another of the services (same company) there is an acting up manager in post. I have been told that I can apply for this job and be interviewed for it. If I were unsuccessful then it would be redundancy. I have been with the company for less than 2 years.
There are no specialist skills required for the other role. My role wasn't unique. All manager's within the company have same job description and terms and conditions, although the services may be different. Managers are often moved to different services to help cover.
My question is...if there is a vacancy for my role within the company (ie someone is only acting up) shouldn't I automatically be moved into that role?
Or is being interviewed standard practice? I believe they intend to advertise the post internally.
Sorry if this doesn't make any sense - majorly panicking just now about how I'm going to manage financially!
