Pay scale for residential children's support workers (FOI)

Please could you advise me as to whether I am able to access the pay scale for residential children’s support workers.

The information requested is exempt under Article 23 (Accessible by other means) of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 as it is accessible to the requester within www.gov.je and is available in the following link:

The pay scale for Residential Child Support Workers (Residential Child Care Officers) is WFM pay band C, starting from WFMC 00 2 (entry level) at £29,320 per annum, up to WFMC 00 6 £35,620 p.a. as a maximum salary.

Within this Band C there are different increments (up to maximum increment 6).

After probation (or in January the following year, depending on their start date) the staff member would move to a higher increment.
