Hourly rate for this role?

[whenthelightsgoout26]

Hi all

I'm looking for some advice.

My current role is a mix of several different job roles.

So I:
-maintain the company website, adding, removing info, photos, updating any changes

-make reels and posts for social media we have one instagram and two accounts for Facebook. researching hot topics, music, photographs and coming up with ideas that link to our field of work.

-training coordinator, so I research and find new courses, book staff on to these, send out all the information to staff, make changes. Attend staff meetings and give my knowledge. Update all our training forms so all staff are on there, we have had several training platforms we use so add/remove staff from all of these.

• assess our business against standards (like an ofsted inspection),

I'm very underpaid for the work I do, majority is work from home. I haven't changed jobs as it has fitted around children, one disabled and I don't have to pay out for childcare. I have been feeling a bit undervalued with work as I do a lot, I'm always on call for issues etc. my pay certainly doesn't reflect that. As it's a mix of a job, what would you say an hourly rate would be?

I'd guess not much more than minimum wage. At the most £15 per hour?

Plenty of roles include safeguarding, social media, admin and policy writing and have this pay. If you want more salary you'll have to upskill like everyone else. Even Russell Group Universities in the South pay around £21k for this sort of role. I know, because I had it! 😊 I had to upskill to reach the next banding.

And risk assessments too!

Yes - you're right. OP if you want more pay - you'll have to move to a different sector.

I'd imagine salary around £25-30k at private company (outside London) gd few thousand less if public sector. Hourly I'd imagine about £14-£15 on average.

Thanks all for the advice, I wrote an email to the owner (small company but a few sites). They called me this morning and agreed that my pay is on the lower side and they are looking at how much they could increase this by. They said I am a valuable member of the team and they wouldn't want to lose me. I have worked with the company for over 10 years, I left teaching for the managers position here (spent over 5 years in a managers role), when I returned from maternity leave I was offered this role (around 5 years ago).

Well done @whenthelightsgoout26

Interesting responses about how much people think roles should be paid per hour!

if part time then you will not get paid sick pay (never come across anyone getting that in part-time educational work).

sounds as if your role is varied and busy but I would say about £12 per hour (not what you’re worth but base this on TAs pay and qualified level 3 EYFS pay also southern England)

Thank you @AvoNw

@slightlyslumamama thank you! I'm nowhere near this pay so hoping I will be!

Once my baby is in preschool/school I will be looking at other jobs. At the moment it works, just a shame the pay isn't great. I like that fact I work from home and it's convenient around the children. I like the range of jobs, it keeps me busy but can be tricky to fit I didn't have a pay rise at all for around 7 years whilst on maternity leaves so I think me highlighting that will help.

£14 per hour, it's not skilled enough to pay more.

£25-£30 an hour if you're freelance. You have VAs who charge this and so some of these tasks.

When you say you was offered your current role. Did they suggest that you step down from management after mat leave or did you make this request yourself?

What does this mean? Because it implies you were on mat leave for 7 years.

@Soapyspuds I handed my notice in and was going to a new company. They asked me to stay, in this new role (had benefits such as working from home). Also a close family member was diagnosed with cancer, it meant I was able to take them to appointments and help them at home.

I had three children close together so had three maternity leaves within this period

I see now. Good that the job change was agreeable for both parties. I thought they might have told you to change roles when you returned!

congrats on the productive discussion with management.
