Network Manager Pay

[cookie_monster]

I've handed my notice in, I earn £27k and the want someone to replace me for £13k.

Disgraceful, imagine them getting rid of a teacher and then advertising the same post for half the pay. I hope they've downgraded the role.



@ jsnetman, grade 9? What LEA do you work for. (if you don't mind me asking)

Must remember never to underestimate the stupidity of management

£23k (SO1) - Network Manager in Kings Lynn, Norfolk here.
650 computers inc 100 laptops. 14 servers.
Line manager to 2 technicians. Full time.

All I can say is get some proof that other schools are paying more for the same title.

Say where the schools are, computer count and hours.

23k is still low here but we have not had that MRS county council pay review yet. When thats done I hope to be on at least 27k.

Thats the sort i'm on, 19k and we've just taken on a trainee, so I will line manage 2 staff, we have 200 PC's with 63 more coming in the holidays, abot 50 - 60 Laptops, and when I asked if I was going to see any more money as taking on a trainee means my workload goes up by training him, I was told no.

I've been in the job two years, and when I first started there wasn't even any anti-virus in place!!

My responsibilites are to manager a colleague, and the whole school network. I feel I am getting a bad deal here...

You should be on around £28k

[bjeffery]

A network manager should be on 30k plus but I believe it all depends on the size of the team and the ICT value you can add to the school.

£18.5k
300 + workstations, 80 laptops, 8 servers, 90 staff, 1000 kids. I do the whole lot, as I have been told there is no money for any help. I had a helper for 1.5 hours a day, she was non technical, couldn't even turn on a machine. I was expected to train her, that was a joke as she wasn't interested. Anyway, she has left now, so no help again. More machines expected, as the sixth form has been extended.
So do you think I deserve more or not?

unfortunately schools will try and get blood out NM for next to nothing because they can I recently had an Job agency phone me up to ask if I needed a technician. I asked what salary they would want and it was higher than mine . I then asked what they would what for a NM and it was £50k. Sure you don't get Pension or job security but with BSF coming in it thats going anyway. I told them to email the CV of this technician to my line manager which I used to ask for money.. Unfortunately they have no money well not for support staff anyway

SO 1/2 circa £24k at the moment. I got onto this scale by writing to the governing body asking for a py rise and stating what I was doing and what had been done since I started. The first time they said no, teh second I had an interview lined up elsewhere (lucky timing!) so they said yes :-)

520 PCs and laptops, 7 servers, 2 sites, one technician (I'm the NM) and until recently I was teaching some 6th form courses. I'm also planning the ICT setup for our new PFI (Thank god not BSF) school which opens in Sept
