Landing a new job mid-contract

[malvolio]

Sounds like a permie role.

As far as 90% of clients are concerned, all roles are permie roles, it's just that some can be dumped more easily than others. And HMG is convinced that if you haven't got a permie role, you're either in need of care and protection or are somehow cheating everyone else.

If we could break that mindset, our lives would be a lot easier, but I guess I'll be retired before we ever get that far.

In relation to the suggestion of replacing myself I'm not sure how easy that would be because the role requires BC security clearance.

BC is a doddle to get. If you try hard enough, you can find someone with it - try securityclearedjobs.com as a starter.
