Salary and terms and conditions in private practice

[scoopery]

I know I'm being exploited and I'm pretty fed up about it.

To be honest I need to tackle the situation but because the csp doesn't have recommended minimum hourly rate for private physios and job adverts rarely say what the pay is I wondered if it was generally everywhere that paid so bad!

I also know that they want me to mentor a new member of staff who is full time and who is on a better hourly rate so now is a good time to negotiate better T & C's

i also tend to work alone and responsible for opening and closing clinic, invoicing, answering telephone, booking patients etc so I feel i take on a lot of responsibility, I don't need supervising!

Useful suggestions would be much appreciated
