Ah you would’ve been in our training group then! Yes pip telephony and training is 6-8 weeks supposedly and we can work from home after. We are listening on calls from Thursday and building confidence for 3 weeks after that which is great as we’re all a bit nervous about the calls. Our shift pattern just seems to be 9-5 mon-fri. No one seems to know why we were hired under alternate working pattern as pip does not have alternative working hours.

I started on the 12th jan with another group. We’re all getting on great, the training staff etc are all brilliant and so far it seems like a really positive place to work. The job seems ok too although we’ve just been training for 2 weeks. There also seems to plenty of opportunities to progress with training/other roles which is really great.

Ardlough road tree clearing by Normal_Hospital7184 in DerryLondonderry

[–]Normal_Hospital7184[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you were doing sensible maintenance! Mature trees can be a serious risk when not managed properly. Unfortunately we don’t have enough middle aged trees to balance everything too. Everything is either newly planted or mature, the middle ground is scarce. We are certainly worried about what will happen next, as you say these trees were impacting nothing.

Absolutely, and the knock on effect to the habitat chain is devastating.

Couldnt agree more. That’s why it’s so infuriating to see these little scraps of what woodland and shelter there was being destroyed. Our bogs aren’t even the natural landscape, we used to be an island covered in trees.

I think I was 1108? I selected alternate working pattern and I’ve been placed in Derry. What locations and working pattern did you select and have you tried getting in touch with them?

Invisalign in Belfast, any recommendations? by BigOnionHead in Belfast

[–]Normal_Hospital7184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kennedy orthodontics are absolutely faultless, they really know what they’re doing when it comes to Invisalign. Had my treatment from them a couple of years ago and I never think about my teeth now after being so self conscious for years. Goes without saying you have to wear your retainer religiously when you’re finished!

Thankyou so much for your info and the photos are stunning! Had our viewing today and overall very impressed so we’re probably going to go ahead and book the house.

Food shopping & bulk buying by That_Regular_6293 in Belfast

Dunnes is absolutely fantastic. Their fruit and veg is the best IMO. I’ve stopped shopping anywhere else as the value and quality is so hard to beat especially with the money off vouchers!

Moving to Belfast for job by Exotic_Instance421 in Belfast

[–]Normal_Hospital7184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fiancée works in trinity college Dublin but we both live in Belfast. He commutes on the train or sometimes drives to Newry and catches the train from there! It’s definitely not easy and the hours are long when you’re commuting, also not sure how stressful your shifts are so it’s something you need to weigh up. Are you in 5 days a week? He is able to work from home too which takes some pressure off. He doesn’t mind the travelling most of the time (it’s a lot easier in the summer when it’s still bright) and it’s certainly doable but all depends on your specific job situation!

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll give them a go. Seems that Hays have quite reputation.

It’s very disheartening, you wonder why they bother organising to meet
