Civil service, maternity leave and moving jobs

I’m a civil servant, going on maternity leave soon. DH is military and being posted to another base 2 hours away, we are moving there.

Where do I stand with my job? I’m definitely going back after mat leave, looking at jobs in the Department where we are moving to. But do I tell my current line manager I’m not going back to my current job? In my Department, a valid reason for a career break is “accompanying a military spouse on posting” but hopefully I’ll get an internal job there, I have a year to find one.

But can they fill my current post so I would be left without a job?

Hello @Donotfeedthebears - just jumping in quickly to say that this week we are running a free online legal advice clinic about everything to do with employment and pregnancy and your rights in work as a parent, with Maternity Action. Volunteers will give you free advice on your particular situation if you post your question on the thread (they will message you privately for the info you don't want to post publicly). It ends Friday.

Thanks!
