A recruitment consultant has been in touch about a full time contract position to cover maternity leave. The job suits my background and skillset very well indeed, but I'm not interested in a full time position, even contract, because, well, I'm a happy freelancer, enjoying the challenge of variety. But I'm good at the corporate stuff too and sometimes I miss it, just a little bit. So here's my point: if your training elf is taking maternity leave, or extended sick leave, doesn't it make more financial sense to hire a trainer on retainer, a set number of days at a set fee per month for priority projects and essential work? No national insurance, pension, annual leave to pay, just a monthly invoice to settle. You also get a fresh eye on the job, and if you decide after month 1 you're not getting on - change them for another one, instantly.
