Yea that seems a reasonable explanation considering how long the recruitment process takes. I highly doubt you would be let go after the initial period due to how much they would have invested in the training etc
I don't know the answer to that but I suspect it'll be related to the business needs. They may be anticipating having to relocate displaced signallers on permanent contracts so do not want to commit to a permanent position initially. I don't think it's related to having an insurance if you don't...
The Rugby roles that were advertised in November last year were permanent positions. From what I've seen it normally says in the job advert if it is a FTC.
I don't think there is anything to stop you applying for more than one job. Once I'd accepted a formal offer though I personally wouldn't apply for anything else.
I'm waiting for confirmation of background checks being conplete and a firm start date before I finalise accommodation but I'm...
I'm due to start there soon, pending pre employment checks, and will be relocating to do so. When I went there to visit I was told the roster is currently a mix of 8hrs and 12s on the weekend. However, it was also mentioned that the roster may be changing at the beginning of next year which will...
I applied for a grade 8 relief role back in November, interviewed for it at the end of January and I was called last week and offered the job by the LOM. I am delighted to say the least. Expecting to be starting signalling school in May/June. I've spent hours over the past few months reading...
Ah right, they said beginning of this week on Monday but said we could email him at the end of the week if we hadn't heard anything. Hate the waiting part!
I've also been invited to this next week, what day is yours? I found a thread on here last week, and I wish I could find it again, from someone who had attended a similar day. From what I recall, it wasn't anything you can really prepare for, other than the interview itself. There was some kind...
My interview is now an Interview/workshop day which is a full day. Has anyone been to one of these before and is there any preparation I can be doing beforehand other than the NTS and safety vision? I imagine the day will be made up of various different assessments but I'm not sure what the...
Click on the application details icon for the application you've already submitted then click the application assessment tab which will show all your answers to the questions which you can then copy into a Word document.
Ive not applied for the Sudbury role but I've got a few applications in at the moment. From what I've read on here it can vary greatly from days to weeks to months. One of mine went to interview after a couple days of being under consideration whereas some others have been under consideration...
The only thing I can think of is if you've applied for the Hand Signaller job in West Ealing then it may be a different application process. I've also got a few applications in and not had the tests sent to me more than once.
