It also means you are totally within IR35 so the money just isn't worth it for a contractor.

These fixed term things are horrible affairs that employers use just to string permies on. BUPA do them and will keep rolling them for up to the 2 years max until they have to give you a firm off. Poor permies having to work for 2 years on 3-6 month contracts without full benefits. Bad form IMO.

not everyones as massively talented as you obviously are, its a junior role for someone getting into the game, I asked the mods permission before posting as Ive seen many posts on this forum for people starting out, does FTC not stand for fixed term CONTRACT?

Yep - the "C" does indeed stand for contract. But it's not a true contractor's contract in my eyes.

The word "contract" appears in "Employment contract" too, BTW.

Still - it might be for someone. No harm done in asking, is there?

I don't think "FT" stands for fixed term when it comes to how most contractors would feel about this type of 'contract'.

I know you're just marketing a short term permie post here, and it may be right for someone, but what NLUK is getting at is this is a forum for professional contractors, rather than for people that work as PAYE employees on a limited-engagement basis. This type of "contract" isn't what we do.

I am sorry but your are advertising a FTC to perm role paying a max of 30k on a contracting forum.

Are you doing this to entertain us or are you actually serious?
