Anyone here? Care to cast an eye over one?

Could try the citizens advice bureau.

I am a lawyer but employment is not really my field...but happy to take a look as I have a legal brain and it may help! :)

Thanks Ladies, i won't be needing advice after all as i turned it down today. 6 months rolling contract in Kandahar, £515 a day, 7 day week, i must be mad :D

i was considering employment "in a sandy area" repairing "Kings trailers" (army equipment) in 2004, it paid £500 a day......except the personal insurance policy that id have to have taken out was about £400 a day!hahaha......didnt go there in the end :-)

[Mitch9128]

Aye, it turns out it's not as lucrative as it first seems, especially if you can't get a full tax year out of it!

Free board and lodge, free food, sunshine and being paid for it ? You must be mad turning it down :)

Theres a lot of good working going over there but like JD says you have to land the right one and not be paying through nose for your medical cover.

[Mitch9128]

Working with, and for the SPAMS was also a decider in turning it down!

[BladeTriple]

Ouch yeah fair one I'd have turned it down flat too bloody meat headed morons.... Wouldnt be too bad if it was on a brit establishment but the Yanks are so anally retententive that you'd wish you had a side arm to take part in one of their favourite past times.... fratricide ;D
