But isn't the £18450 pro rata as you work term-time only?

Well you deserve the extra £800 a month for the specialist care in a special needs school. The TAs in our school take home about £800 but varies depending on hours. All are on 20hrs fixed contract and then extra hours on top (different for each TA).

Just trying to figure this out... is it £18450 (£1537.75 per month) before tax & NI? If so, then surely it is pro rata. Or is £1537.75 the amount that goes into the bank? If that is actually your take home pay then I'm seriously thinking of looking to move schools. I've worked with many special needs children that have then left our school to go to specialist Special Needs Schools. And our school seems to be the one that the local authority send all the children excluded from other schools. We are also the catchment school for the Women's Refuge. Lots of challenging children.

£18450 is what I earn, not take home at all. I'd be over the moon if so. I work a 35 hr week, with 32.5 hrs of it paid as a TA and that is full time.

I earn £1537.75 a mth as a TA, £8.67 a mth for my 1st aid and as yet haven't been paid for the bus escort as they made a mistake.

So those 2 figures = £1546.42 earn't a mth
Taking home = £1215.57 a mth after tax/NI and unison.

Mates a professional poker player (just in terms of earning his living from playing online, not a big name or anything) and he earns a similar amount. He's had 2 gos at arbitrage though, but neither horse ran!

I do hope you declare your bankroll as capital to the JobCentre, as to earn that kind of money it must be substantial.

I think he is taking the pee by quoting a previous poster who is now PPR'd?
