cheers for the reply Dave, I'm glad you've been looking into this as it is hard to get concrete info on units at the moment. I really look forward to seeing what you've come up with.
Personally I would have pay details in there, as meeting BAJR rates/IFA minima is not the be all and end all of decent pay and conditions -above and beyond a living wage the devil really can be in the detail of a unit's conditions and their attitude to staff. You can't even just compare salaries as different units have different hours and demand you drive to work, whilst others will always put you up etc. Its hard to put all this in definitive terms often, but they should be selling themselves as employers as much as we have to sell ourselves as employees.
Hopefully talk to you when you get back, meantime enjoy the site
