I've moved this to the Post Office section. Hopefully, one of your Colleagues will be able to advise you, as the rules might be different from those in RM.

Hi, thank you for your reply. when i said 'finance' i meant 'head office finance department' as i have been graduated from finance related subject. i am really keen to work in my study related areas. i wonder if any one knows what are the opportunities internally to move into different department outside POL. how would i search internal vacancy and the restrictions i might have in my current situations as i am very new in POL. thank you for your help.

Given the number of managers who have just left POL through "Voluntary" redundancy, and the not insignificant number of which were Finance related roles I would think the opportunities are thin on the ground and certainly almost none existent unless you are London or Chesterfield based.
Not meaning to be negative here, just realistic and you need to see/know the big picture in the organisation.
