What does FTE mean?

[daniellewilson1987]

Im currently applying for jobs and have seen a job that states it is £16500FTE depending on experience
Its in a college and states the work is term time only although doesnt clarify how many hours! Im confused if that means its £16500 or less if thats what the pay would be if it was for a full year and not term time only. If anyone can clear it up for me that would be great
Thanks

It's usually used in respect of PT roles.

[daniellewilson1987]

So the pay would only be around £12000 for full time work?

Oops x post with everyone else

Full time equivalent. You would get less than £16500 depending on how many hours.

[daniellewilson1987]

Ok thank you for all your quick replies, i have just noticed it doesnt even say how many hours just fixed term/ term time only

Is it administrative? That might explain it.

So working 39(?) weeks instead of 48ish for a FT, all year role? And the salary pro-rataed to that?

[Just5minswithDacre]

Pro-rated. So still FT in term times?

Teaching positions, I understand, are paid differently.

Its for a student achievement coach. So it would be £16500 ÷ 52 and then × by 41? Just wish people recruiting would be honest with their application

They are being honest. Many jobs particularly in colleges or universities will say FTE and depending on it being term time, they will pay accordingly.

It depends how they're treating holiday.

If it was me I'd hedge my bets with a rough (£16500 / 50) X 40 calculation. So 4/5s or £13200. And use that as my guide until it's clarified.
