Thanks Fruity! I always like to have a backup plan just in case.

All posts have been filled except for one IT Support Specialist. This role is purely first line support and would suit a candidate with some first line experience only. Interviews to be completed by the end of this week.

Thanks Matt. I'm sure we'll do that if we can't find suitable candidates for long term posts. Unfortunately, we're only looking for weekday cover. Taryn
