Mainly based at Cobalt Business Park now (North side of Tyne Tunnel) I believe.

I've worked there, dump, nothing around about nothing to see or do at lunch!

Tyne tunnel is chokka at rush hour.

No part of DWP is in Cobalt. All the third parties bar 1 that were based there had to leave a while back and are now either in Benton or back at their own offices. Oh and that ain't second hand rumour....

As for the Tyne Tunnel it ain't so bad now the second tunnel and refurbishment have finished. The current pain is diversion routes people are taking to avoid the Western Bypass work where they are adding an additional lane....

Probably no longer the case
Tesco, coffee shop, Greggs and a salad bar at the office end of the estate
Pizza Hut, Nandos, and various others in Silverlink by the cinema or shops (max 10 minutes walk).

The cinema but was there, CBA going, the tesco greggs thing was being built, the only real choice for grub was the To Go canteen in the HP building or the one in Northumberland council building.

The was a really good one in the proctor and gamble building but whilst you could get in, you needed a card to get out, Olympic standard tailgating was required...

There are quite a few Departments that are using Capita as prime contractor, Capita then use the mainstream Agencies as a resourcing tool. In this case Hays.
I did an MOD one via Synergise (or whatever they're called) last year. It's a bit annoying, but it does work after a fashion.

Morning,

Just as a quick update, I started the contract on Thursday, so worked Thursday and Friday this week. I managed to get a login to a system called Fieldglass which is where I log my time and then get it authorised by a manager at the CCG.. I have a question to ask Hays / Capita on Monday but thought I'd put it on the forum in case anyone else had experience..

In my circumstance will I be invoicing Hays (my nominated agency) or Capita who sit above Hays?. Is it Hays who will be putting cash in my bank account or Capita?. If it's Hays do they wait to get funds from Capita?.

I'll speak to the agency on Monday but wanted to see if anyone has experience here..

Thanks

Quite a few agencies use Fieldglass as a timesheet system, my current contract via Alexander Mann is using Fieldglass too, it's a third party supplier and tbh it's been reliable for me.

The role I mentioned apart from the Agenty sales bit of introduction and feedback all the rest, including payments, on boarding and the HR type stuff was done by Capita, I don't know if that was a one off or routine. I got the impression that MOD had basically outsourced their whole contractor HR function to Capita and that other Government Departments were doing the same.

Seriously? Can we have a newbie sub forum setup for some of these questions?
