Internal civil service move

[Aethelfled]

I'm currently a permanent AO in the Civil Service. I'm not happy in my current role/department and have applied for another AO position and have an interview next week.
However the new role is advertised as temporary for 6 months, with the possibility of extension or permanency.
On that basis, I'm not sure whether it's worth taking it if successful, or am I just being scared of change?
I assume if it is not extended, I would return to my current department, but obviously I would check this out.
Any thoughts?

In my experience if you’re good at the new role your management will fight to keep you!
I did 4 different jobs in the CS over a 12 year period & each time was kept on in the role until I decided to move departments. It was great & broadened my view big time of the amazing organisation worked for.
Feel the fear & do it anyway!
