I will definitely contact Randstad. I used to deal with them when they were Accountancy Link, many moons ago!
We are in the same boat with child care. Very little support near us and no one to call on for regularly looking after them, so I need to put them in day care which also means I need a job with consistent days.
I will check out that link as well... Thank you hopefully we will both find what we're looking for soon.
