Hi Carly
You cant advertise based on the salary scale as, as you suspect, you would be discriminating against older teachers.
I hope this helps.

Hi Carly,

If it's a school covered by the STPCD, my understanding is that since there is no longer pay portability then the school is free to advertise the post on your MPS. This seems to be quite common at the moment. You'll need to ensure that you comply with your school's pay policy. However, there nothing stopping a new employee from then applying for UPS once they've been recruited, and once they've met the criteria.

It depends on the needs. You can just write MPS and then add Newly Qualified Teachers welcome to apply. This implies that the role does not require a very experienced teacher.
