Salary
The grade and full-time salary range for the role will be detailed in the advertisement and the job description and selection criteria document. If the post you are applying for is part-time the salary will be pro-rata to the number of hours you work.
Your starting salary will reflect your qualifications and experience. If your post is in grades 6-10 your salary will normally be automatically increased on 1 October each year (subject to completing three months service) until you have reached the normal maximum of the grade. Increases beyond this point may be available in certain cases as there is also a small ‘discretionary range’ for each grade.
For posts on grades ALC6, your starting salary will be agreed on an individual basis, taking into consideration your skills, experience, and personal qualities, and will normally be subject to a biennial review.
University salary scales are reviewed at a national level on 1 August each year.
