Has anybody here had experience of going through NHS restructures / cuts? Basically our Trust has to save money and there is a corporate service review going on behind the scenes at the moment. All non-clinical roles have been frozen. Rumour has it that to save money, posts will be down banded.
I have been with the NHS for over 20 years all in non-clinical roles and have worked hard to get to my current banding. I know realistically that I won't be matched to the same band role if redeployment is offered as roles on this pay grade are very few and far between. I am very worried as we are due to have a massive building project commencing on our home in October.
DOes anybody know if they can match you to a role two pay bands lower - would you be expected to take it as a match even though it would be financially unviable? I am in a Union. Just wondered if anybody has gone through this before and has actually been made redundant?
