I have copied the list below from an Ad in the jobs section as I believe it to be a good overview of what an employer will expect from a new recruit intending to become a scaffolder.
Responsibilities
•Loading and unloading of vehicles
•Ability to identify any defective component and remove from service immediately
•Assisting in the servicing of equipment, stacking and storing
•Ensuring that equipment and vehicles are always in a clean and tidy condition
•Understanding and co-operating in all Health & Safety matters
•Selecting the correct materials and assisting the scaffolders on site
Apprentices will report directly to a Senior Manager during the initial 6 months and to a Supervisor /Chargehand/Scaffolder for the remainder of the training period.
•Good basic arithmetic, written and communication skills
•Self-discipline & commitment to team work
•Confidence & willingness to ask questions
•Must be physically fit
•Be totally comfortable with working at height
•Ability & willingness to use own initiative, adopt an industrious, but compliant approach to all tasks
Unfortunately the advertiser is expecting a lot to say the least from the wages he is offering …………………..
1st year £170 per 40 hour week (£4.25 per hour)
2nd year £230 per 40 hour week (£5.75 per hour)
3rd year £270 per 40 hour week (£6.75 per hour)
I am interested in what you would consider a fair and proper wage for a 40 hour week for a person starting from scratch with your company, bearing in mind that you will pay for their training and wages while they are attending courses.
For myself I would be thinking of something along the lines of
1st year min £280 per 40 hour week (£7per hour)
2nd year min £360 per 40 hour week (£9 per hour)
3rd year min £480 per 40 hour week (£12 per hour)
I would review the lads commitment and progress every three month and increase his wages in relevance to his learning and value to the company.
