Just to update everyone who has helped me through this time. So anyway, 2 weeks before the redundancy is due to kick in, i received a letter today telling me that i have been slotted for a job that i'll start from 1st April.
All that teeth knashing has come to naught!
i have been given till this afternoon (!) to accept or appeal it.

What are you going to do Bednobs?
Wow that's not long to decide!
What do think you want to do?

well i'm not entirely sure - they didn't send a JD with it. It's something to do with retrospective continuing healthcare claims

i am going to accept it. ALthough i was feeling fine about being made redundant, a morning in the library looking at almost every single job in my county nade me feel rather worried! It's only for six months anyway, and who knows, it might be better than my job now
Difficult to consider it without a jd. Can you get more information?
Question Author
not in time (in fact they are working to such tight deadlines i doubt there even is a JD yet)
tbh the JD is rather irrelevant - they consider it fulfills the "51%" criteria, so if i turn it down, i'll just have to hand my notice in anyway
Seems frightfully unreasonable to me to ask you to accept a job without a JD. But then I've no idea under what pressures this bizarre organisation that was once the simple old NHS is.

I take it the location and hours are acceptable to you?

If this is a proposed reployment as an alternative to redundancy, you should be able (legally I think you can do this) to ask for a one month trial.

Post back if you want more info dug out about the legalities of a no-commitment trial - which then allows you to reject the job at the end of a month. Your union will surely know about this.

thanks BM. Unsurprisingly, there is "No-one available" from HR to talk to me about this today.
Location is still tba, hours are the same as my current hours (all terms and conditions transfer accross)
I don't really see i have much of a choice apart from to accept or leave really
I know gnashing is a silly way to spell the word, but knashing ! ! ! ! LOL

damn it, i knew it didn't look right :)
