I work for the council as a nursery nurse in a childrens centre. I'm on a temporary contract. I'm 12 weeks into my maternity leave and was planning to go back in september after 9 months off. I have just seen a permanent term time only job in a different childrens centre still for the same council. It is my ideal job! Can I apply? When would I have to start? And at what point do I state I'm on maternity leave? The closing date is monday I don't know what to do!
