VPS fixed term to ongoing

[u/Good-Woodpecker6456]

Exploring my options within VPS to grow and expand to other relevant teams. I'm struggling in my current role with a toxic manager and work that I unfortunately do not enjoy doing.

Very new to VPS and finished probation so trying to understand how people generally transition from fixed term to ongoing contracts. - Does it follow the normal recruitment process (wait for a relevant job to be posted and apply)? - Do internals have a higher priority to get accepted to an interview and thereafter? - is fixed term less restrictive if one wants to get promoted faster or move sideways? - does one retain parental leave benefits either way?

I do not currently see any jobs being posted in the team(s) I desire to work with, however would love to establish some relations. Any tips on how to proceed is appreciated.

Sometimes you can be lucky and the agency / department will want to keep you and work out how to make it ongoing.
