Check eligibility before applying
A transferee process may specify current role, competence, operational qualifications, driving, fitness and recent experience. The receiving service decides what it recognises and what further development is required.
Compare terms line by line
Do not compare basic salary alone. Record pay point, duty pattern, leave, location, temporary or flexible-duty payments, overtime access and any probation or development requirement.
Create a clean handover record
Keep service dates, pension membership, qualifications, medical clearances and training history. Ask administrators how benefits and contributions continue or transfer; do not assume payroll systems exchange every record automatically.
Frequently asked questions
Can I transfer at the same rank?
Only where the receiving process accepts the role and appoints you on stated terms.
Does pension membership move automatically?
Scheme participation may continue, but records and any inter-scheme transfer questions should be confirmed with both administrators.
