those responsibilities for that pittance??? good luck!!!!

[TAD33]

Thanks for the comment. The responsibilities are no greater than you would expect from any member of staff i.e. turn up for work ontime, do a good job safely and be polite to clients, coupled with practical knowledge of the sector. The role is running a team of 2 staff. More than happy to negotiate with the right candidate.

Why not just start off with reasonable pay. its a pain to have to negotiate something which you should be getting. Not something id feel comfortable doing when just starting to talk to a prospective employer, you will probably get someone happy to work on that money who can do the job well but good luck keeping him/her

[Steve Bullman]

I bet there are quite a few people on here running their own companies who realistically earn less than that a year (but would never admit it), AND they don't get holiday pay/pension/sick pay etc etc. That is a position within a big company and the right person can use that job as a starting block to bigger things if they so wish - if people get shot down for offering others opportunities then there is something very wrong with this 'community'.

well said, it is a low wage though, but in the current market and the potential to work hard and progress makes the job worth the starting salary:thumbup1:
