Wow - are these new posts or replacements. If they are additional posts, I think a few people around the country will be tapping you up for some advice

JohnBhoy - replacements, though it has taken a while to get approval

Is my old mate John Catt still at Addenbrookes or has he retired etc?

Max

What have you done with your "used" engineers ?

Will you not be keeping them to show the new chaps the way.?

If not, can I have them please ?

Im not joking, In my experience, even part time, seasoned guys are often so much more effective than those meant to replace them could ever be.

Not the fault of a new guy in any way, just that age and experience often indicates an education, backround and work ethic combination that is hard to beat.

Darren

Nice One Darren, could,nt agree more. T.

Question, how did the old / seasoned hand come to get these attributes:

"indicates an education, backround and work ethic combination that is hard to beat."

Give the new guy a break

The key to this issue is to have a good mix of experience with the experienced hands mentoring the newbies.

We all had to start somewhere....

Let's start an NHS EBME apprenticeship - now there's a thought

As usual, please only comment on a vacancy thread if you are applying or looking for further information.

Thanks

Darren - 'used' engineers departed before I arrived therefore no knowledge as to their wherabouts.

Tempus - as per above.

Max - When I was with Alfred Mcalpine Business Services in Government and Health we were signifcantly involved in the development of Addenbrookes - so I always keep a nostalgic eye on whats going on.

Johnboy - point taken

Regarding the recruitment link to your trust site, I must say the web team should be congratulated.

I wouldnt mind applying for one of those volunteer vacancies shown there actually in the future.
