Job Description

Band 2 and 3 Teaching Assistants

Contract Type: Permanent

We are looking to appoint the successful candidates as soon as possible, also in September.

Working Pattern: 32.5 hours per week, term time plus 5 days.

Band 2 12.76 (equated salary)
Band 3 13.17 (equated salary)

Your hourly rate of pay is equated, so that you are paid the same each month, regardless if you are in school or not.

Payroll calculates the equated salary based on weekly hours, how many Term Time + days you work, bank holidays and how much annual leave you are entitled to e.g. 25 or 30 days. This is then divided by 12 for a monthly salary all year round. However, if someone starts in March, that salary has been based on a full academic years' leave entitlement, number of bank holidays etc, so it must be recalculated based on how much leave there would be left in the leave year, how many bank holidays are left and how many of the INSET days are left. This is the deduction from the salary. This applies to all support staff on term time contracts in all NCC schools.
