MFS ComCen employment

[bajdas]

Just a quick question - to be employed to work in the MFS ComCen, do you still need to go through the MFS Recruitment process ? Or will MFS employ staff specifically for the ComCen role (not firefighters).

[Darren]

No they don't employ off the street, they merged the CFS and MFS and then that was it, everyone else is either a volunteer or a secondment, which last for 2 years.

As Darren said, apart from us 'special cases' [ex-CFS SOCC staff], all comms operators are from drill squads.

Last SAAS call centre jobs were part-time without the shift loading. So a large drop in $$ income with uncertainty on impact SACAD will have to employment conditions & employment opportunities.

I cannot impact my family to that risk until kids are older. So I did not apply. But I will watch & see what happens during the next few years.

They say you go through 3 different careers in your working life. I have done 2 different full-time careers so far....

At least the day would pass quickly & you would not be bored watching the clock...
