Hi All, Welcome to the wonderful world of education! Bear in mind that this is a private school - in LEA controlled schools you'd be lucky to get 10K for a part time, term time only position, probably requiring you to do much of that work, manage the entire network and run the MIS system! Unfortunately, The government is more interested in pandering to (IMHO whinging) teachers problems / wages than that of support and admin staff - this may sound sexist but if it was not for young/middle aged mothers wanting to get back into the world of work after having children then the countries education system would fall apart - also, bear in mind that most of these would be paid less than 10K p.a. and unable to claim benefit during the holiday periods. In all probability a schools entire support and admin department probably earns less in a year than your average Headteacher and two deputies..... So, I wonder why we do it? Alan Azrael AoD wrote:

This gave us all a jolly laugh. All of those requirements and yet only offering £10-16K .. is this serious?

I know someone with a similar job.. and he earns twice as much.. (while not having quite so broad a job description) ..in addition to accomodation/food etc at the school (which is also residential).
