Hello,

We are currently reviewing levels of pay for different types of support worker, in particular research assistants. As opposed to readers/scribes, research assistants can provide a more specialist service and we are having some trouble establishing an appropriate payment level. We are keen to get it right, as funding for non-DSA eligible students comes from our (limited!) discretionary disability support fund, so it is important that we are paying neither under nor over the odds.

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share their support worker payment levels with me, so I can get a picture of the average amount? If you would prefer to reply off list you can reach me at [log in to unmask]

Thanks,

Gwyneth
