This is a Fixed-term Appointment as a Band 8a National Clinical Care Pathway Manager in
the Defence Healthcare Recovery Group (DHRG). Your responsibilities will be as described
in this job advert. The reason why you are appointed for a fixed period is to cover a gapped military post.
This post will therefore begin on your appointment and will end on 27/09/2027.
You should be aware that when your Fixed-term Appointment at MOD comes to an
end, arrangements will be made in line with the FTA policy.
If you are a permanent MoD civil servant and are found
successful for an advertised Fixed-term Appointment (FTA) you should move into
the post under a Temporary Transfer (for up to a maximum of 3 years). At the
end of the posting you will return to your previous MoD Business area. If this
posting is at a higher grade, your promotion will be temporary, and you will
return to your substantive grade at the end of the Temporary Transfer. If a
Temporary Transfer cannot be agreed between all parties then a transfer on an
FTA contract is possible, read the FTA and Change of Work Location in the UK
policy for further information.
If you are
transferring to MoD from another government department (OGD) you should join
the MoD on an inward loan. At the end of the loan you will return to your home
(OGD) department. If a loan cannot be agreed between all parties then a
transfer on an FTA contract is possible, read the FTA policy for further
information.
As a result of the changes to the UK immigration rules which
came into effect on 1 January 2021, the Ministry of Defence will only offer
sponsorship for a skilled worker visa under the points-based system, where a
role has been deemed to be business critical. This role does not meet that
category, and we will not sponsor a visa. It is therefore NOT open to
applications from those who will require sponsorship under the points-based
system.
Should you apply for this role and be found to require
sponsorship, your application will be rejected, and any provisional offer of
employment withdrawn.
