Possible BBC Contract

[northernrampage]

My brother works there as a contractor. They have cut the rates recently, he says rate he's on is around £50 more than people they are bringing in now. However he says it's a nice place to work. Treat people with respect etc.

He wasn't working hard, but now he is as waiting for someone to start a role who's coming from somewhere else. By working harder I think he means the odd extra hour at the end of a day.

I know others who have worked there too and everyone likes it (more on the online editorial side).

Generally, they left to get more money elsewhere, not sure how much it pays higher up the scale there.

If you can, join the BBC Club.

Would that not indicate that you are a permie?

Hi

Got a couple of contract offers on the table. One in my comfort zone of SC/public sector work, and one in the unknown world of the BBC. Anyone care to share opinions of contracting with Auntie?

Thanks

They drink alot of tea at the BBC.

HTH

Nope, special membership for contractors. Not sure if you have to pay or not (would make sense if you do), but on a Saturday, nobody on the door ever checked anyway.

I had an agency try to punt me a senior SAP FICO PM role based at the BBC in White city recently for £230 PD.

Oh how I laughed before hanging up the phone.
