https://www.youtube.com/embed/I9tLu3UdiGY  How the Defence Infrastructure Organisation Supports Defence

This is a Fixed-term Appointment for 36 Months and the reason why it’s for a fixed period is because an apprenticeship role is not guaranteed a permanent role. This post will therefore begin from 01/04/2024 and end on 31/03/2027.

Therefore, you should be aware that when your Fixed-term Appointment at MOD comes to an end, you may (if you are an existing civil servant) become at Risk of Redundancy and be given Priority Mover Status, unless:

• the contract end date is met and honoured, for external employees who are not existing civil servants.
• an extension to your Fixed-term Appointment has been agreed.
• a conversion of the Fixed-term Appointment to a permanent role has been agreed.
• you return to your home department
• you are successfully redeployed into a suitable alternative post.
• you secure another Civil Service post through a recruitment process.

Permanent Civil Servants joining the Ministry of Defence (MOD) on a Fixed-term Appointment:

If you accept a Fixed-term Appointment with MOD, the preferred option is for you to transfer from your home department on a loan basis to ensure you can return to your home department at the end of the Fixed-term Appointment. Exceptionally, if a transfer on a loan basis cannot be agreed by your home department, you would transfer and become a permanent employee at MOD but on a Fixed-term basis. This will not affect your continuity of employment. If you face a redundancy situation at the end of the Fixed-term Appointment you will be treated as a permanent civil servant for redundancy and priority mover purposes only. You must have two years’ service to be eligible for redundancy benefits under the Civil Service Compensation Scheme.
