Job Application - Can they do this?

I imagine if she takes the job , temp or not and gets on well and enjoys it then if a permanent place becomes available she would be the first in line. My mum works in a school and they do often have a high turnover of NQT ( along with teachers retiring) , plus if someone is off on maternity leave they cannot replace them permanently without the new mum saying first "I am not coming back". maybe they are playing safe with a view to having a vacancy in the future , with a candidate they know is good and works well in the exisiting team. It certainly doesnt seem fair to your partner or the other applicants. Good luck

The job advertisement actually forms the contract between the employer and the employee.

if that was the case, did any of you see the post a couple of days ago that was a job offer from a website and the salary was advertised as £20,000 per hour!

i cant find the link unfortunately but it was an error!

End of last year I was job hunting, I applied for a job. After an initial telephone interview got invited down for a proper interview. During the various interviews at the company they kept talking about a job title I had never heard of. I had to stop them and ask if this was the same as the job I applied for. Basically they had restructured the dept since placing the adverts, this new role was comparable but different in a number of ways. At the end of the day the offer they made me was too good to refuse.

I guess my point is the job advert is a way of getting people in for interviews, but does not constitute anything more than an invitation for applications to work for a particular company.

I can't imagine that any employer would deliberately falsely describe a job - it has to be an error. It's totally counterproductive to invite people to interview for a job that isn't actually what people thought it was as you're going to end up wasting time talking to a whole load of people who aren't interested in the vacancy afterall, or who don't have the appropriate skills anyway (not in this case obviously, as it's the term of the job that's changed rather than the remit).

I'm sure it happens a lot, and it's really irritating if the first you hear about it is at the interview, but I don't think there's an awful lot you can do about it.
