When hours/days are not mentioned I assume they want a small number of
odd hours and some on-call stuff - without having to pay a FT staffer
an on-call bonus :-/

+1 Reading is an *expensive* place - the salary would determine whether
you are going to get local script kiddies or a professional applying.

Also no mention of "out of hours" arrangements but lots of inferred OOH work.
I assume the "part time" bit is to avoid having to pay OH 'on-call' bonus
normally paid to full time staff doing on-call work.

Given the workload, I would have thought they would have been better off
hiring support specialists like wessex networks - or my employer :-)
That way they get access to a team. Handing over the keys to your business
critical systems to a just hired "part timer" sounds risky at best.

It could be intentional. :-)
