TA salary

[hoping2016]

I’ve recently started supply primary TA work, I’m getting £85 per day (inc holiday pay). I’m trying to understand if this seems reasonable?

Can I do supply work directly with a school hence avoiding the agency and any cut that they are taking from my salary?

I’m based in the midlands

What hours are you expected to do?

8:20 to 3:30 with 30 min lunch

Some schools and MATS have started recruiting for bank staff. It might be worth asking them.

£85 per day works out as £16 575 pa. (Daily rate x 195). I don’t know how this compares to actual TA pay these days.

The advertised rate for TA work often assumes 37.5 a week, 52 weeks a year. Sometimes you can find out actual rate but it’s a lot lower once it’s been pro rata’d
