Not sure if this is the right place for this question but here's hoping. I have been offered a part time job by a friend. She has 3 businesses and employes about 30 members of staff. She hopes to build up her business even more so is getting increasingly busy. She can no longer keep up with the admin work and that is the job that I she is offering me. It will mean typing letters, regular monthly news letters, keeping staff files and holiday cards up to date, preparing bills, making sure all the daily check forms that the other employees use are up to date and in plentiful supply, and loads of other things like that. My problem is that as it is a brand new post, I do not have any idea of how much an hourly I should be asking for!! I live in a small town in the South West of England, desirable place to live but shocking wages!! I help her out already with preparing the bills but this is moving the whole thing on to another level.
Any advice would be great, thanks :T

Check the local jobsites and see what the going rate is.0

I have checked, but there is nothing like in anyway similar in this area. The next area is a city and the pay rates there are always higher. Thanks for taking the time to reply :-)

If you want a national public sectore comparison (which I am recommending as the business you are looking to join is still small) I would suggest looking at p5 of the latest NHS pay rates.
You should be aiming for the Band 4 scale - divide through by 37.5 hours and 52 weeks for a guide to an hourly rate, however the benefits you negotiate will be entirely separate to this sum. Whilst I'm not advocating that you sell yourself short, it's good to be aware of the wider benefits of working esp in these troubled times.
Good luck.Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

VfM4meplse You are an absolute star :A Thank you so much.. That is such a useful post. I just KNEW somebody here on MSE would be able to help me! I agree totally about not pricing myself out of the job, but I just needed a benchmark, as it were, a starting point to work from.
Again, thank you very much indeed.

she really should have told you this is what i will be paying you. that way you would not be in this position. from the way you describe the business i doubt she will be open to much negotiation. i suspect it will be a case of this is what i am offering and i cant afford to pay any more. i would just ask her what she is paying you. you really should have asked sooner but i can understand how it can be hard to bring up such things.0 -
The majority of those jobs, and I did read through the first 23 pages, are around the Taunton/Bath/Bristol area. Funnily enough, the South West goes a lot further than that.....0 -

What's your point? I'm not to know which village you live in so it would be practically impossible to actually search the jobs in your village. You said South West, I can only put South West in the search engine - can't I?0
