Re: Licenses required for CPL Flight instructor
To be a PPL instructor, you will need a PPL, CPL written exams, and a FI rating. To be paid as an instructor you will need a CPL.
To be a CPL instructor, technically you don't need anything more than you need to be a PPL instructor, other than experience (500 hours total time, 200 hours instructing time). But I would guess that the majority of CPL schools would not want to employ you unless you were also able to instruct for IR, which will require you to have an IR and also remove the No Applied Instrument Instruction restriction from your FI rating. Another requirement of most CPL schools would be the requirement to instruct on multi-engine aircraft, for which you will need a multi-engine rating yourself (and a multi-engine IR if you are to instruct for a multi-engine IR), 30 hours of P1 on multi-engine piston aircraft, and then another 5-hour course to become a multi-engine instructor.
You should be able to earn an average of around £800-£1000 a month as a PPL instructor if you work full time - not sure where you got your figure of £230/month, I easily earn double that even in winter.
