royal mail specialist service network driver

[mcfc1972]

hi all
yet another newbie to the site and was just wondering if anyone could shed any light onto something for me....been offered a 6 month fixed term contract of 30 hrs a week working as a specialist service secure network relay driver.....was just wondering if its royal mail standard practice to offer such short contracts intially for this role and if it is, if i keep my head down do they generally extend them for longer periods or even offer a permanent contract after this....all replies much appreciated


many thanks
