    One of mine just turned to unsuccessful. No email or anything. Weird because I’ve had interviews for others and straight to unsuccessful on this one. Hard to say what they look for sometimes.

    Yeah I can’t imagine the start date would be before signalling school. I’m also guessing they get a % of last minute spaces etc

    Congrats to those who’ve recently been offered the job! It’s a shame that they can’t offer start dates until at least March 2020!

    Thank you for this!! Do you know if it’s a 8h or 12h shift pattern! When you say you only find out on Thursday what shifts you’re doing do you still know what days you’re working for the weeks ahead (I.e could you see if you were working in 6 weeks time on a certain day but just not what times)...
