Salary scales are reviewed annually, normally in August to take account of any relevant Cost of Living Award. Further salary increments within your pay scale are normally awarded from 1 October each year, subject to the completion of six months' service within the salary level and satisfactory performance.

We operate a performance-related salary progression scheme, where sustained exceptional performance can be recognised through the use of the High Performance Zone. One-off recognition payments may also be made to reward outstanding achievements.

We are an accredited Living Wage employer, ensuring that we pay rates set by the Living Wage Foundation, that are above the National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage.

Relocation allowances or other support may be offered to eligible staff at the discretion of the recruiting school/department.
