This may be of some interest to members of SLUG:- "Central Scotland Police use Linux and other Open Source software extensively throughout their systems. A number of in-house software developments are conducted to meet the specific needs of the Police Service and a vacancy has arisen for an Analyst Programmer, based at Police Headquarters in Stirling.
The successful candidate will be involved in the development of applications using Java and hence must possess demonstrable Java skills, in addition to Linux skills. Skill in PHP, Perl, Apache, C, C++ and also Linux systems administration (Samba, Sendmail, PostgreSQL) will add considerably to a candidates suitability. Considerable work is presently planned which will involve the successful candidate in developing distributed database applications using CORBA, Oracle and IBM DB2. Design skills and experience in the use of UML and Rational Rose would be advantageous. There is a strong emphasis on capability and hence, whilst desirable, a computing discipline degree qualification is not considered essential where skills and practical experience are shown to an equivalent standard. The successful applicant may be required to participate in formally accredited courses to degree level as part of their career development programme. These may involve significant out-of-hours study, though accommodation will be made as appropriate. Salary is on scale AP-IV (�18,006 - �19,980) during initial 6 month probation, thereafter on scale AP-V (�20,610 - �22,491). Initial placement is on the lower level unless the successful candidate transfers from an eligible Public Sector employer, when normal rules will apply. A pay award is pending. An initial, informal, discussion of the post requirements may be obtained by telephoning Central Scotland Police on 01786 456000 and asking to speak to the IT Manager." -- Tony Dyer email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://www.dyer.demon.co.uk/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.lug.org.uk http://www.linuxportal.co.uk http://www.linuxjob.co.uk http://www.linuxshop.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------
