    I am looking for a number of architect to work a 6 month contract based in Newcastle.
    With this role you will after 6 month have the option to go permanent if you would like to do so.
    Candidates applying should already hold SC clearance or be eligible to undergo Security clearance.
    And you wonder why Government projects fail

      Plenty. OG, for example.

        That's pretty good then, I decided to stay away from Public Sector gigs as I couldn't be arsed with the extra fuss it's good to see it can be done though.

          The problem appears to be inside government. Public sector outside of government seems unaffected.

            Yes not had any hassle since they introduced it, but I've been working outside that there Londonistan
            Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

            No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

              Mind you I worked with some awful contractors when I was a permie at Companies House, I often found myself thinking "Where the f*** did they find these bozo's"

                I stay away from the public sector just because I tried it once. The whole IT function had been outsourced to two different providers. To say it was an object lesson in ******* up IT services would be an understatement. When I went in on day one I asked to have Java JDK installed on my PC as part of the dev tools I needed. When I left 3 months later I was still waiting. Apparently installing anything that allowed me to write my own programs was a "security risk"
                While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
