Morning all
I know in 'RL' )as non teaching MNers like to call anything outside teaching!) pay negotiation is fairly standard practice but I think most teachers are not practised in this .
I have an interview this week which is for a post advertised at £3k (max) less than I earn and , to exacerbate this, at up to 32 hours.
I have never worked part time so this is not why I applied for the role : I just really like the sound of the new opportunities it offers (an potentially a far better work life balance). If it was full time post the £3k salary cut would not make a huge dent in income (especially if I topped it up with a bit of tutoring) OR if I could negotiate to do something else for the academy trust to make it up to full time hours, such as intervention work (I really don't want to do a couple of days standard classroom teaching though!)
I have no idea how many candidates they have : obviously they may have some who are more than happy to work the post as advertised.
Would people advise that I raise this before the interview if I can? Or should I wait til the day itself (interview panel consists of the line manager , and AH and an HR bod)
Bit conflicted as I really like the sound of the job but my pay would drop like a stone.
