Have a contract - but what to do long term?

[PropertyCrashUK]

There has been an noticeable decline in the past 3 months of NHS IT roles in Wales. Those are available want a ludicrously long list of skills and expertise in one person.

But they, and a few other public sector players such as the ONS and DVLA, appear to be the only players hiring anyone.

It is bleak. Bleaker than 2003 and almost as bad as 1993/94.

I can't answer your question as part of me is trying to get INTO the NHS. But judging by what you are saying work/budgets/projects are being cut and permies like yourself are under threat of loss of job - so what chance contractors?

Trying to get INTO the NHS? You're brave at the moment. PS, I'm a contractor not a permie, but there may be opportunities for the likes of me with reorganisations etc.
