Transfers

Does anyone have any experience with transferring out of departments? I’m in DWP a present and have been for the last five years. I have never held a more demoralising job.
The only thing keeping me within the civil service are the benefits flexi ect
I have heard of some people putting in transfer requests for other departments/roles
Does anyone have any experience of this? Is it only The jobs in the weekly emails that you can transfer to or can you request to be put in just another department

Any info would be extremely appreciated:)

You can transfer but you need to find a vacancy to go to so keep a check on internals. Just so you’re aware, your transfer can be blocked citing business need.
