At a guess I would say the reason for the position being temporary is that bodies are needed now for roles that won't exist after the restructure is completed sometime in the next 18 months. Why take someone on full time when you might end up having to make them redundant, whereas if you take on a temp you got a known quantity if you need extra bodies to be full time when the dust has settled.
Cheers for that - That sounds about right, they said that there *may* be some permy places after the restructuring, and that the reason for the temp posts were to take things up to the restructuring....
It'd be a little nicer if i was a little more prepared, but things have all come about rather quick, and it has only been someone from the agency that I have spoke to.
