Job Title - Ethnic Minority Achievement Teacher - £37,000Pa

[Svejk]

Domestic Abuse Assistants (no, me neither)
Just a couple of the more 'colourful' jobs amongst the more usual Diversity Officers and Project Coordinators that my local(labour) council, apparently, can never have too many of.
Then, tonight, I read about their wage bill. Number of people earning £100,000+ =34. £150,000+ =7. 200,000+ =1.
My question is; When do you think this dreadful (tory) austerity will be over?

@ Bazwillrun but also taking in other comments here....given that breastfeeding is proven strategy for reducing illnesses later in life, and given the hideous success of corporations like nestle in persuading vulnerable women that breastfeeding was inadequate / gross / a sign of poverty / unfeminine, maybe it ain't so bad to get someone skilled to turn women's thinking towards breastfeeding as an alternative to expensive purchased milk? Kinda like, money in the bank for later on? As all illness costs society, eventually?
Like reducing HIV, injury and exploitation (ref the cottaging outrage cited by Baz)
Is there something actually wrong and outrageous in reducing harm - if only because permitting harm to happen costs all of us dear in the long run?
And....is every aspect of society actually an accounting exercise? Would our society actually be better/ happier/ less stressed if we accepted that certain functions are outwith that rather narrow assessment?

Ah, the mythical Labour Spending. Tory have borrowed more in five and a half years than Labour in their last three terms put together. It was the Bankers what done it.

Dear Heavens, tell me where I can apply (ok Over 65, but bright, able and with more than 30 years teaching experience)! I never earned more than £23K - probably because I chose to remain at the chalk-face rather than go for management.

OP - Austerity is a moveable wording.

[Mosaic]

Jourdain, your £23K would now be about £30K so you weren't missing out, and many teachers stay out of management for same reasons. However at all levels the massive pointless bureaucracy does a lot of good people in.

Those jobs are there, just need to look for them.

^ I posted that link for ric-ror earlier. And this comes up;
'Error A possible security violation has been detected on displaying this page '
And yet, obviously, I can see that one. Very odd. ( I 'shortened' the link but don't see why that should make a difference)

[Mamyalynne]

Strange, no it shouldn't.
