NHS Fixed term contract

[mongoose52]

I started in the NHS in a substantive role on 24/11/14. On 1/11/2015 I got a new role in the same organisation but on a fixed term contract which expired on the 31/7/16. this has been extended until 31/12/16. I am being advised the contract may not be renewed (financial pressures) and I do not have 2 years continuous service. Is this correct?

any views would be appreciated

I think you do have 2 years continuous service. If you Google NHS maternity policy or search on your trusts intranet there should be info and there's a bit about fixed term contracts too.
