Exceptional circumstances where SC may not be confirmed at time of starting will be dealt with on a case by case basis, but the continuation of post will rely on successful clearance being given. The vacancy will be filled on loan or fixed-term appointment for an initial period of two years, with the possibility of an extension by mutual agreement. It is envisaged that the successful candidate will take up post in early September. If the incumbent is applying on temporary promotion, they will revert to their previous substantive grade and salary after the loan. There is the potential for permanent inward transfer, although this is by exception. Several criteria must be met concerning individual performance, business need and individual career development. A copy of AGO’s policy on secondment extensions and inward transfers can be made available upon request.The transfer would be considered voluntary and so would not attract excess fares, travel costs or relocation costs.Please note, due to the nature of loan agreements and the necessary release of staff into a new role, candidates will be required to discuss the loan and transfer with management at their home department prior to application. We will require confirmation that you have discussed this with management and they are content to release you into a new role, upon acceptance of any role. Please note that any move across the Civil Service on or after October 2018 may have implications on an employee’s ability to carry on claiming childcare vouchers. You may however be eligible to claim tax free childcare. SalaryExisting civil servants on level transfer will retain their current basic salary if it is within the AGO pay range. If your salary is higher than AGO maxima you will be placed on the maxima of the pay range and receive the difference as a mark-time allowance, if agreed by HR.Where your salary is below AGO’s minima you will be raised to the minima of the pay range £30,468. Any reserved rights to London Weighting or associated London allowances, will be consolidated into basic salary before the uplift to AGO’s minima. Any other allowances will not be retained on moving to AGO. If this results in your salary exceeding the pay range maxima, you will retain the difference on a mark-time basis.On promotion there will be an increase of 10% to your current basic salary, or move to the pay range minima, whichever is the highest. If you are in receipt of any reserved rights to London Weighting or associated London allowances, these will be consolidated after applying the 10% promotion calculation. After this calculation if your salary is below the minima of the pay range, you will be moved to the minima of the pay range. Any other allowances will not be retained on promotion.Hours and HolidayYou will be expected to work a 5-day week of 37 hours (excluding lunch breaks).AGO is committed to flexible working, but business needs for some roles may limit the scope for particular working patterns.
