Unqualified teacher pay scale (but I'm qualified!)

[tellmesomethingtrue]

Just that really... I'm currently employed as a cover teacher, working 8-3.
I'm on the unqualified teacher scale (point1) but I'm actually a UPS2 teacher. I feel like they are getting a bargain. I want to ask to move up the unqualified pay scale a few notches in September at least.
What do you think? Is it just the nature of being a cover teacher?
No comments as to why I'm not in a 'teaching' position please.

Why aren't you on the qualified pay scale? They are definitely getting a bargain! I hope you're not doing any work more than the minimum for the role you've got?!!

Unfortunately the issue is you are in a role that doesn't require the level of qualification you have. They are paying you for the role you are doing and not the qualifications/experience you have.

I could be a qualified doctor, and if i choose to go and work retail, i'll be paid the salary of someone who works in retail, not a doctors wage.

Yes totally agree I'm not working beyond my hours. I would like to be further up the scale though to reflect my experience so might ask for September

Are you planning the lessons and marking the students' work?

No, I'm delivering the lessons and managing behaviour

You can ask but for context what you describe would be considered (and paid as) a cover supervisor role in my experience.

Can I be forced to stay all week on a class residential?
If so Can I be forced to share a room with another staff member?

Sorry wrong thread

Yeah, you're screwed.
If you're on point 1 unqualified then your take home is about £1500 a month after tax.
As a cover supervisor, you would be pro rated to 39 weeks - at the TOP of the support staff CS scale full-time (after five years where I am) you will be on the same: about £1500 a month because of pro rata.
Support staff allows you to go up a point up to the end of whatever scale they advertised the post at - but because it is so badly paid, you'll never get a decent net pay: you can only get that by doing supply rates (but no holiday pay and not secure) or being seconded supply (hard to get these days for day-to-day).
In theory, will you go up each year on the scale you are on because if so, point 2 is £1696/month which is better than many who are also QTS but on the support staff scale. If you got to point 6 on the non-qualified scale you'd be on £2327 a month, which for cover, most of us would kill for!

I'd be amazed if they were prepared to pay you the top of the unqualified scale though - not without class responsibility, a form or some T+L or pastoral responsibility.
Everyone is squeezed budget-wise.
Good luck/well done if you do manage to negotiate though.
