    SWR Guards Recruitment 2021

    not true in this case, you’ll be doing less hours weekly than currently but you’ll be paid the same, so a technical pay rise. Plus you’ll lose dispatch so there’s less safety critical work on your behalf.

    Vaccine Progress, Approval, and Deployment

    Think they're calling off their mobile's at the moment as they're not in the office, it's been a mobile number the past few times. Obviously, I cannot pass that number on but thought I should let you know
