If the individual was an external applicant, the Company will review the option of a relocation to another position within the Company which may include loss of seniority and / or pay, or ultimately release from the organisation. In relation to the appointment to the post of Manager, and if the MIT has already attained WSET Level 3 Award, they will automatically be offered a permanent manager post.
