temporary jobs

[cobnosedreindeer]

hello everyone *waves* First time posting here. i have lurked for quite some time.

This is my question. i see a lot of ads on yardandgroom advertising as both temporary and permanent positions. this makes sense for relevant jobs during the foaling trekking and polo seasons. or for maternity covers. But why does another normal yard job advertise as both temporary and permanent? How long do they expect a temp worker to work? Is this something to ask before applying or to mention how long you can work there when you send your application

As you can tell i am very new to this. Soon my fire goal will be complete so i am hoping to work with horses in my retirement. thank you all. and please excuse the capital letters the button on my keyboard is having an off day1

forgot to add, this is about jobs that don't a time period in the description

if they don't put "for 6 months" or similar then I'd assume its permanent and full-time unless it says part-time.

Only way to check to ring and ask

Temporary might mean for the winter / for the summer or to cover injury / pregnancy or similar. Or for the competing season.

Temporary does sometimes become permanent.

When I see temporary in a job advert, I see it as they are saying up front there might not be a long term job. If you are looking for a long term job, you probably don’t apply, unless you can’t find a more suitable long term job.

Temporary can be for all sorts of reasons - staff member off sick, busy period (say polo season, summer hols in a riding school etc), available funds to pay you; it's also a good way of seeing how someone works before offering them a permanent position.

As a temporary employee you're still entitled to everything albeit pro-rata I believe, so they're not automatically bad roles per se.
