NHS for you. I did a gig for not a huge amount more than this a while back. Glad I did - it was better than the bench and at least it paid the bills for a few monts.

Nice place to work, no hassles etc but the rate.

The manager there was pulling his hair out - just cant get people.
He said upper management just take a permie salary, add 10-20% on and divide this by however many days in a year to come up with the day rate.

Trouble is they think everyone wants to do this for a few months with the view to going permie on £25-£30K salary and they dont understand how it works.

Maybe some people do? Not everyone wants to be a contractor who works as one, support work especially fits the "temp job" profile.

Because they are probably paying 25k for a mile long list of requirements/skills and noone locally with half a brain will touch it so they have to import
