Working toward bachelors in early childhood and primary education

Post by sabc » Fri Mar 18, 2022 7:19 pm

Hi there!
I’m wondering what my pay rate should be! I’m studying my bachelors in early childhood and primary education! I’m at the centre as a casual and float between rooms! I’ve been there for just a year now! I don’t have previous qualifications just working toward the bachelor!
Hope someone can help xx
Thanks so much

How much of your degree have you completed?

May I ask what your current pay rate is now?

Hi!

From what I understand you are probably getting paid as a Diploma Assistant. I think that it is a good pay rate for you since you haven't got any other qualifications. In my opinion, your pay rate is good.

Thanks lorina! It’s a bit of a shame getting paid at a lesser level! Do u know when I’d get a ride to a bachelors pay and how much it would be? Also would the fact I’m doing early childhood and primary make any difference?
Thanks again

You won't get paid as a degree holder until you get a job/position as an ECT in a service. If you are an ECT in a service then you will be paid as such. If you are a room leader or an assistant, regardless of your degree then you will be paid as a Diploma.

Okay! But once I’m done my degree if I become room leader it will be a higher rate no longer a diploma rate?

You need to be employed as the ECT of the service in order to receive the degree pay rate.

I would probably remove aspirin - try that - then if it's still wrong try adding paracetamol - hopefully that works!

Hi,

You will get your dreaming payroll as you have Bachelors in early childhood and primary education, that sounds good. Graduates qualify to work across a wide age range of skills. You have been just a year now! Even though you don’t have previous qualifications, you are working towards a bachelor's, which gives you the most experience. Learn more in your day-to-day activities and get a better future.

Thank You.
