Work and stuff update
Well, it looks like the job market is a bit more buoyant at the moment, because I've managed to get myself lined up pretty much straight away - and the phone's still ringing with other recruiters wanting to get me on their books.
From next week I'll be working for the London Borough of Kensington & Chelsea (sorry, the Royal Borough, I beg its arselicking pardon), on the launch of a new website for adult social services users, which is aimed at allowing them to access support and services more directly from providers, rather than having to go via their local council. It'll be used by residents of Hammersmith & Fulham, and Westminster, as well.
There seems to be a bit of an odd setup, in that the agency I'm working through don't do PAYE, so I've had to set myself up as a freelancer with a limited company. So as of this afternoon I found myself in the weird position of being the Company Director of Valkyrie Enterprises Limited.
This does have the advantage that if I want to do any freelance work, I can put it all through the company without messing up my tax situation. So if anyone knows of anyone who needs a freelance writer, editor or proof-reader, do point them in my direction. My rates are reasonable.
