I know technically those of us who were made redundant in December could actually take up this job since we would be employed by Hays and not NTL - incidentally, Hays provided temporary staff to the call centre at Maxwell Road for much of 2004 before the closure.
Another interesting, but perhaps slightly offtopic point is that according to one representative I spoke to at Inland Revenue, is that the fact that an employee was made redundant from a particular company may still return to that company within 6 months albeit in a different position but still keeping his redundancy payment tax-free. However, according to the documentation received by ntl HR in the weeks leading up to the closure it was advised we couldn't work for ntl again for 6 months.
And as a note, the "someone" who gave Dezzo the jobsite link was none other than myself.
