Dear Telford and Wrekin Council,
Thank you for your response. You have indicated that you have 14.5 FTE in total and a budget of £287,641.
This works out as an average salary of £19,837 without oncosts. With oncosts this would work out around £14,000 per FTE.
Typically 14.5 FTE would require a budget of around ~ £650,000+
1) Could you check you budget figures as they are not representative of the numbers of FTE employees indicated.
2) Could you send me a structure chart showing the roles you have previously indicated as being in the Early Year Team.
Yours faithfully,
Nigel Parks
