Technician rates of Pay

[Web Ferret]

Can anyone advise me what are the going hourly rates for NV3Q technicians that are now registered with the pharm soc.

Also what sort of rates would an NVQ 3 + ACT registered be on.

The reason I ask is that we have trained up some staff here to the new levels.
This would be working for a busy independant.

it depends on the firm

hospital locums get paid a lot more about £18-20/hour......but sometimes they just go for p'cists a pay a little more extra as the p'cist will need to cover wards and clinical checks for an extra fiver

Community -btw £10-15 /hour

Where I work £8/hr is regarded as very good.

The best paid dispenser I know gets £8.50 an hour (retail) and works for a one man one shop business. She seems very happy with that, and says if he has a good month he'll often give her a little bonus of £50 or something similiar.

If a one man company can do that the big chains should too.
