In addition, what's to stop someone working in the NHS going into the private sector?
It might should like I undervalue these folk, but as stated earlier comparing a mid-wife's re-enumeration with that of a contractor is pointless.

Originally posted by socialworker View PostJust as a small aside, look at salaries paid in the NHS - where I am currently working, physiotherapists start on £26,000 pa after top A levels, a 4 year course and constant CPD required. It's a highly technical job. Unless they move into management they never go above about £32k. Did anyone watch the midwife prog last night? 13 hour shifts where they never stop, huge responsibility and stress. Dont know what they get but it will be well under £30k. £200 a day may be chicken feed to you and I m sure the job requires a lot of experience, but it's hardly slave labour.

What they really need to is bring someone in for 3 months to create a finished set of reports and then someone on £15,000 a year to run them....

£200 a day is great if you're getting a pension as well.

Another classic but may I draw your particular attention to the bits in Bold which really add to the offer.
Hi
I am working with an NHS trust based in Yorkshire who are looking to recruit for a Datawarehouse Consultant on a 12 month contract.
My client is looking for someone with good skills in SQL and SSRS and SSIS ideally whilst knowledge of T-SQL and Stored Procedures is essential. Candidates should also be familiar with Mental Health Data ideally along with Lorenzo 1.9. Managerial experience would also be ideal.
This is a 12 month contract and the budget is a fixed £175 and this will be on the basis of a 4 day working week though the client may accommodate a potentially a day’s remote working. Do send me through your CV if you feel you would be suitable and are interested.
Best regards

Originally posted by craig1 View PostIt's annoying. I have a friend who is a project manager in insurance. According to him, the culture of the insurance business is so different to anywhere else that you really MUST have insurance experience to do the job well. His last three projects were Exchange 2010 upgrade, a Sharepoint HR Portal upgrade and a server consolidation project. Yep, really three projects where insurance knowledge will trump good IT project management experience.
I've done contract project management in telecoms firms, local councils, law firms, accountancy firms, oil companies, internet service providers, the MoD, heavy manufacturing companies, food manufacturing companies, clothing retail and general retail. Each one had their concerns that I'd not worked in their industry before, not a single one had a major difference worth noting in how they operated, in fact the most confusing bit was the titles they gave each other in different industries. In fact, it was probably easier coming from outside as I didn't have the emotional baggage of "it's always done like that in this industry and I know no other way".
I'm sure it's an ego thing: "our work is so tough that we can't imagine anyone else having it as tough as we do, therefore we're going to discount any experience from anywhere else."
Insurance is essentially 95% back office operations which are no different from back office operations in most other industries. Are their back office ops more boring and grey than other back office ops? Maybe that's the key.
(Of course an insurance bod would probably refute that...)
