Just got an email about this job, I am not looking but I know plenty are:

Got it myself this morning; my friend told me they are looking to take on approx 1500 staff nationwide on temp contracts with possibility of going perm.

[quote="jen09":32pgjqzt]Got it myself this morning; my friend told me they are looking to take on approx 1500 staff nationwide on temp contracts with possibility of going perm.[/quote:32pgjqzt] This temp work comes up every summer, it's mainly filling in for people on parental/termtime leave. A few get brought back as permanent but honestly I cant see that happening this year. Our office has lost 1/3 of it's staff and we were told they're not being replaced..(not even with summer people). It is a handy job for a few months though, best of luck to all of ye who apply

really, thanks for that disney08. I'm in a job now that is secure for the minute after months of 3 days/paycuts etc.. My money is more than what they offering, but we have crap holidays were i work, no sick days and mat leave is disasterous. So i thought if the public sector were recruiting it would be great, but i'd need to be permanent for obvious reasons. Great number for those out of work as there is the chance of been made permanent.

Also, even if it isnt made permanent, once you are in you can apply for all of the internal jobs that are advertised (before they are advertised externally) so you wont be competing with anyone outside of where you work. This is the case where I work in any case.
