Apart from the potential lack of job securit, are there many disadvantages of fixed term contracts over permanent positions?
My wife is looking at getting back to work after a couple of years off to bring up our kids, but a decent chunk of the roles she's found are 12 month fixed term contracts.
The main problem I can see is when it comes to remortgaging (as we will be at some point over the next couple of years) and lenders not treating it the same as a permanent position.
Anything else to be aware of?
Obviously fixed term contract > no job, but I'm not sure how much better permanent is over fixed term contract.
