Staff at my Department can avail of secondment opportunities to a variety of public sector bodies. The terms of all secondments to date make provision for the staff member to return to my Department.

However, the specific post they are assigned to at the end of their secondment is determined in line with the business/workforce planning needs that apply at that time. My Department regularly reviews its staff assignments to ensure that our resources are being used to support our work in the most effective and strategic manner possible. For that reason, it is possible that they may not be assigned to exactly the same position on their return, but rather to a different  post.
