Another classic but may I draw your particular attention to the bits in Bold which really add to the offer.
Hi
I am working with an NHS trust based in Yorkshire who are looking to recruit for a Datawarehouse Consultant on a 12 month contract.
My client is looking for someone with good skills in SQL and SSRS and SSIS ideally whilst knowledge of T-SQL and Stored Procedures is essential. Candidates should also be familiar with Mental Health Data ideally along with Lorenzo 1.9. Managerial experience would also be ideal.
This is a 12 month contract and the budget is a fixed £175 and this will be on the basis of a 4 day working week though the client may accommodate a potentially a day’s remote working. Do send me through your CV if you feel you would be suitable and are interested.
Best regardsmerely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

If you go to the beginning of this thread, that's the same job advert, just re-written in a worse way with less detail.
Guess nobody is taking it up. Might put a winning bid for my new subby (my Nan). See if she fancies a stint in London as a DBA (a what?! , yes Nan, d-a-t-a b-a-s-e)...
£200 a day is great if you're getting a pension as well.Don't believe it, until you see it!Comment

Just as a small aside, look at salaries paid in the NHS - where I am currently working, physiotherapists start on £26,000 pa after top A levels, a 4 year course and constant CPD required. It's a highly technical job. Unless they move into management they never go above about £32k. Did anyone watch the midwife prog last night? 13 hour shifts where they never stop, huge responsibility and stress. Dont know what they get but it will be well under £30k. £200 a day may be chicken feed to you and I m sure the job requires a lot of experience, but it's hardly slave labour.Comment

What they really need to is bring someone in for 3 months to create a finished set of reports and then someone on £15,000 a year to run them....merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Originally posted by kal View PostComparing apples to oranges there methinks... a nurse and IT consultant are very different, if you want to compare salaries how much are the management on?
A midwife consultant would be on £40k to £67k.Comment
