Hello Stephen @StephenMillrine and a warm welcome to the community. Glad to have you with us.
It might be worth having a look at this discussion and to check out the category "Ask an employment advisor". I'm going to tag one of the advisors in here just to help them be aware of your post @mwila_scope.
Things may be a bit quiet at the moment, being the weekend, but bear with us and the right people will get back to you.
Warmest best wishes to you
