What's the position with taking a career break from the public service (HSE). If I wanted to take a year out for genuine reasons, is it true that when i'm due to come back to work, the HSE need only offer me a position at the same grade or lower than what i had before i left, and that there is no guarantee of return to the same location?
Also, I have been told that when I return after the 1 year career break, the HSE have another 12 months to find me a position, so in effect I could be jobless for up to 1 year after coming back from the career break.
Is it evan a good idea to take a career break at the moment given that things are so bad now, economy wise. I have heard some horror stories about people coming back from career breaks to be give only part time positions.....etc.
thanks,
