come on guys !!! it wouldn't be on BAJR if not legit.......and it is WORK !!!!!!!!
sorry monty, but we have every right to query whether the advert is legitimate. And I do believe there have been occasions where adverts have been placed on BAJR and then removed following further scrutiny. David does an excellent job in screening adverts, and that is to the benefit of all of us directly and indirectly, however on jobs like this that clearly look odd and potentially dodgy it is best to have a debate about what the job exactly is. David is not an employment or tax lawyer and it is not his role or remit to scrutinise every detail of every advert. I do not agree with everything David says, or does, despite being pretty much 100% supportive of him. His decisions are there to be questioned and queried, and I believe he supports this wholeheartedly.
You frequently say that its work so must be good, but work at any price is no good for anyone. There are jobs advertised (not on here) offering ?60 a day self employed, its work, but not a decent wage and its work like that and the fact that people are willing/have to take it that keeps wages down across the board.
At a time when pay and conditions are being squeezed it is only right to query adverts that seem unusual in their wording. David has explained the situation and I'm fairly happy that the situation seems ok, it is after all, a council so must be fine. Good luck to those that apply.
