Where these figures come from
Every figure on this page is computed from the contracts live on the ContractorUK jobs board with Teaching Assistant in the job title, advertised at a day or weekly rate. The median and quartiles use the advertised rate of each listing, midpoint where a range is given; weekly rates are divided to a day equivalent, and hourly or salaried listings are excluded rather than converted. Advertised rates are asking prices rather than settled contracts, so treat them as a guide.
