Cambridge college supervisors win commitment to address gig-economy style hourly paid

5 June 2024

Cambridge UCU's multi-year 'Justice for College Supervisors' campaign has won a commitment for colleges to address supervisors' gig-economy style hourly paid contracts by the end of 2024.

The agreement also comes with a bumper pay jump as a result of the campaign. College supervisors lead undergraduate tutorials, or 'supervisions' as they are known, yet many are precariously employed by colleges and paid an hourly rate.

Cambridge's colleges and Cambridge UCU have now agreed new rates for college supervisors that peg pay to the University of Cambridge's salary spine and include multipliers to account for the number of students being supervised. The changes will result in a pay rise worth 15% on average and over 20% for some supervisors.
