Vacancy Description
The School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB) is an independent body which makes recommendations to the Prime Minister and Secretary of State for Education on the pay and conditions of school teachers in England.
The STRB assesses evidence from Government and organisations representing schools and the teaching profession, and visits schools and local authorities to develop its understanding of issues facing teachers. In addition to providing recommendations on annual pay awards for teachers and school leaders, the STRB has been asked to report on a variety of matters in recent years, including moving toward a pay structure with higher starting and early career salaries and relatively flatter pay progression and providing additional guidance to schools through advisory pay points.
The STRB is now seeking to fill a vacancy, to:
- consider parties’ written evidence, views and proposals;
- take oral evidence from parties;
- assimilate information and data on pay, policy, economic, workforce and financial matters;
- weigh evidence and undertake independent analysis; and
- formulate conclusions and make recommendations to the Government.
The STRB also meets schools and local authorities to talk directly to teachers and school leaders and so develop its understanding of the issues they face.
Person Specification
All candidates will be required to demonstrate in their written application and at interview how they meet the requirements of the post. The criteria that will be used to assess whether candidates have the required abilities are listed below.
- Knowledge of providing effective leadership at a senior level within a maintained primary school or within a multi-academy trust including one or more primary schools.
- A good knowledge and understanding of pay, remuneration, performance management, labour market and reward issues and a strong understanding of the policy, financial and operational constraints that impact on remuneration decisions.
- The ability to analyse and interpret a large amount of complex and sensitive information, providing insight and a working knowledge over the impact of any potential decisions on the workforce.
- An ability to communicate effectively in collective decision making, assessing/debating conflicting opinions across a wide range of perspectives and attitudes to form a coherent set of recommendations.
