NHS Maternity Pay

[Shanks_21]

I work in the NHS and just looking at organising my maternity leave I know I have to return for at least 3 months afterwards but I was wondering if upon return I could work for a different NHS trust rather than returning to my old job? I currently work in Manchester but live in the midlands and ideally would like to get a job closer to home. I’ve already looked on the intranet at work and it does say I’m entitled to the leave as long as I return to either the same trust or any nhs employer just wondered if anyone had experience of this?

I also work in the nhs and believe you can move to a different trust. I am also hoping to do this when I go back to work
