Your hourly rate?

[user 67280]

Hello,
I just really want to know what is standard pay for a therapist with around 6 years experience with a lot of additional training.
I’m currently on £8 an hour which I’m starting to think is a bit pathetic. Especially as we are managing the salon ourselves!
Please don’t be shy, I really need to know as I’ve previously turned down a job of £19000 a year when my boss told me she’d give me a pay rise back in September...
TIA

I feel like £8 an hour and £19000 is what may therapists would be happy to be on. Unfortunately it’s a low paid industry if you’re employed

£8 an hour seems quite low after 6 years, what's the minimum wage in UK? Do you get any comission?

Minimum wage is lower in the UK than in Ireland.

Go self employed; best thing I ever did . More money less work

Go self employed best thing ever you only need to excel in your most favourite treatments to make a really good living of part time hours but with a full time wage.
