Is there a problem with recruitment at the college? Last time this vacancy was advertised it was listed at grade 4 (Term time) that was about in March. Previous to that back in January it was advertised at Grade 5 (Term time). Now back to Grade 5. That is approx. 3 technicians within 6 months. Back in January there were 3 IT positions advertised together. I was considering applying for this vacancy however I am a bit unsure about the fact that the is a high staff turnover. Is the anyone out there who could tell me a bit more about the college and the IT department structure? Edited May 21, 2013 by Sparky1

You are mistaken, Sparky1. 3 positions were advertised in January...

* NM (existing position) - which was filled

* Web Developer (new position which didn't previously exist) - which didn't receive suitable applicants and wasn't filled

* Service Desk Analyst (again, a new position which didn't previously exist and was advertised as Grade 4 term-time only) - which SLT then decided not to fill.

 

...but the last position to be advertised prior to that was September last year. The position being advertised is to replace this Technician as the current post holder is moving to a more senior position at another school.
