That is, as Monty would correctly summize, "Fucking Shit".
Can you give her a big smoosh from me please.

It is, and I will.
I've told her to call his bluff at the end of the trial. They're desperate for qualified and experienced autistic support, she fits the bill for this perfectly and the assistant and deputy head both think it stinks that the head isn't willing to pay her on a comparable salary because the other LSA's take on additional responsibilities such as coordinating school clubs etc. But giving intensive 1-1 support is a full time, mentally draining job in itself so why should she be penalised for not having time in the working day to do other things?

She really needs to say at the end of the trial "If you want me you need to pay me the going rate same as all the others, and offer a more robust contract, otherwise I'm not willing to give up a secure job and salary. Plus my husband's a massive sponging doley and if I end up losing my job as well we're fucked."

I think the last line may need to be edited

Hmm.

I feel it weakens the argument somewhat

Possibly a more carefully chosen turn of phrase then.
Plus my husband's a massive sponging doley and if I end up losing my job as well we're REALLY fucked."

I reckon I know what he's thinking in all this.
Which is that she's so badly paid now that she'll be grateful for any increase in salary. Yeah, OK, it is a much better salary she's being offered, but if every other LSA starts at a certain level why should she be any different?

I agree with your plan.
Call his bluff. I would assume it's not a job groaning at the seams with suitable applicants.

She's got nothing to lose.
At least if he refuses to change the terms of the offer, she's still got a job. If she wasn't employed at the moment I'd say go for it. But we just can't take the risk right now.

Also, they are desperate for someone to come in for this kid
as he has huge behaviour problems that none of the other support staff can handle, and it's a special needs school, ffs.
