You did very well Dave. We take on trainees using annexe U of AfC based on band 5, ie. start on 65% of top of band 5. Most places see band 6 as a senior post, so by rights you will become a senior as soon as you have qualified. I think Jordan could expect to start on 65% of a band 5. It's all a load of tosh anyway. We wanted to promote some of our basic grades to senior but had to advertise the jobs and go through the process of shortlisting & interviewing. In the end it was decided that we may have to look at creating annexe U posts at band 6.
