Hello I would also be interested in this. I have been trying to find out the same information myself. Thanks Heather Griffiths Inclusion Co-ordinator, Disability Newman University College Genners Lane Birmingham B32 3NT email: [log in to unmask] ________________________________ From: Discussion list for disabled students and their support staff. on behalf of Gwyneth Bodger Sent: Tue 08/04/2008 15:34 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Payment for research assistants 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 Gwyneth Bodger Disability Advisor Student Services Thames Valley University St Mary's Road Ealing London W5 5RF Tel: 0208 231 2545 The contents of this email are private and confidential, and intended for the named recipient only.
