From what ive seen they do a more detailed interview than that of the FJR (fortnightly job reviewers...band b). If your on New deal, that might involve referring customers to courses, work trials etc etc.....or if your not i guess its just a more detailed interview with your customers, giving out ADF if they need it for interview clothes etc (advisor discretionary fund), making new claims, doing 13 week/26 weeks reviews etc. From what ive seen it looks like a really good job within the department xx
That sounds like exactly what I was hoping to do! Thanks for passing on that information, more excited than ever now! x0 -
Had the phone call for a Band C Personal Advisor post for my first choice area - yay!
Only problem is I was told that the job is temporary until 30/11/10 at the most but may end earlier dependant on the job market. Apparently would get either 8 or 12 weeks notice (the lady on the phone wasn't sure). Now do I give up my current temporary post which is until 31/10/10 to perhaps find myself out of work quite a bit earlier!!! Current job ok just not fantastic.
Are others finding the same dilemma. Wish they would stop moving the goal posts, I am sure the position was advertised at 18 months, then I accepted in my mind it would probably be 12 months but what if it is only 6 months?
I've got a little time until Monday at the latest to decide - what a decision!
Its actually six mnoths notice if they want to terminate it (obviously less than that if that would take you beyond your defined contract end date), either that or they can pay you up to your end date.

Oh my god! Just when I had given up all hope, and had been fed that many stories from different people in Newcastle and in Cov & Warwick JCP about recruitment being stopped again, I was sitting in Debenhams coffee shop this morning and got THE CALL!!!!
Couldn't believe it and still can't...Apparently they had a meeting yesterday and it was identified they need AO's at Stratford, Rugby, Bedworth and Nuneaton JCPs. I was offered a choice of any and accepted Nuneaton... Contract is only till November 2010 though, not the 18 month i applied for..
I start January 4th, which incidentally is my 40th birthday. I laughingly asked for the day off!!!
Anyone else heard or been offered positions today?0 -
