It was not exactly his previous job that was put up. This is another full time job that involves the computer side which was not the responsibility of the presenter/support officers. I'm not sure of the complete facts, but there was a support officer who has since left, whose domain was the hardware side of things... the Zeiss, computers, displays etc. They were basically combining two positions in one (beats waiting for the BCC IT dept to come out and work on computer problems).
While the person working at the site has the best chance, and if the job is essentially the same it is quarantined, but if there is significant change it is regarded as a new job and open to all comers. Who knows, someone from outside might have been working at another planetarium with just these skills, wouldn't he be best suited? It has to thrown open, and it gave me a chance to apply and get an interview at least.
Sorry for the novel.
