Pay deal worth up to 8% won at Newham College

There will also be a 5% consolidated pay rise for qualified lecturers and curriculum managers (2.5% increase backdated to September 2022 with a further 2.5% to be paid from January 2023). The deal also includes a £600 non-consolidated lump sum for staff earning over £30K and £750 for those earning below £30k.

The union said this deal was won through effective and meaningful negotiation with Newham College management and shows that there is money in the sector to help staff through the cost of living crisis.
