This is insane to me. My partner is within the Band 8 scale in the NHS. Works 37.5 hours per week and earns in excess of this.
I am so sorry

Thank you! Of course the hope is that future earning potential will be better.This is insane to me. My partner is within the Band 8 scale in the NHS. Works 37.5 hours per week and earns in excess of this.

For context I have been a fully qualified doctor since 2017 but am still one of those so called “junior doctors” and will be for at least 2 years more. And bear in mind the “NHS payrise” earlier this year didn’t include us!
Also so far this year I have had to pay for GMC registration (£161), defence union (£85), RCGP membership (£291), exams (£470 this year and then if I pass next years exam costs over £1000, any failures will pay again).
Not to mention my £76,000 worth of student debt
Around 45/50k - Self employed, digital marketing
Its really not alot at all. Pension contributions are high also and if you pay union conts they will be a decent amount per month at your salary too.Thank you! Of course the hope is that future earning potential will be better.

It is a lot of responsibility, 10 hour days for the salary you are paid. Also get a lot of bile directed at you also when its an underfunded poorly run system thats at fault.
Please know that so many of us see you and are grateful. My local GP surgery are amazing, they have done so much for my family.
This country and system is broken. I feel for you.Thank you! Of course the hope is that future earning potential will be better.

I’m a NQ nurse and on 25k working 37 hours a week, after my student loan, tax and NI etc I barely see my kids be it they are teenagers but find it hard for a social life.
I’m worse off then when I was working full time in admin before I trained. Im actually tempted to pack it in and go back to my admin role which was mon-Friday 28k
I don’t mind at all! I’m band 4 nhs so 24-26.5k-ish depending on time working for the trust.
I must admit, I have a lot more responsibility than I ever thought but it’s nice cause I do love my job. I want to progress but it’s less dealing with patients and more dealing with management but we shall see!
up for a 4 month marketing contract, which would bring in almost 8K
I agree! I used to be a hairdresser and entered at band 4, a few of my team were shocked that I started at that Band but I think I just got lucky!Sorry to butt in - are you NHS? If not, it sounds like you might be interested in a Medical Secretary/Waiting List Secretary type role. These often lead to being a PA for surgeons, consultants, senior nurses and management etc with a bit of experience. It also sounds like you’ve got the right experience to step in at either a band 3 or band 4 role and work your way up. If you’re in Scotland, band 3 is currently £21,709 - £23,603 and band 4 is £23,709 - £25,982. Not sure how long it’ll stay at those rates with the current ballots surrounding the pay rise as the 5% uplift was rejected. PA roles tend to be band 4 but can be band 5 if you’re willing to take on some management/supervisor duties too (band 5 is currently £26,104 - £32,915).
If you’re not in Scotland then obviously ignore the pay rates but the job roles should be more or less the same across the country. NHS is always a good place to get experience and then move onto somewhere private if you’re looking to earn more though
Is this a typo, since when do hairdressers have bands.
I think the person has said they used to be hairdresser prior to going into the NHS and entered as a Band 4 and their colleagues (in the NHS) were shocked at that.
I’ve gone from a £55k a year job in Comms to earning £400 a month in a minimum wage job with hours that allow me to write in the day and have a bit of banter in my day, be useful. Have put aside £10k of pandemic savings to give me £800 a month for bills & food and currently manage this easily. Hopefully doing it for a year, to finish 2 novels. I’m lucky, mortgage finished, but have been astonished to discover how much cash I wilfully wasted while working. How did I manage to spend an extra £2k a month? When I go back I’ll be living a much more frugal life and concentrating more on experiences than things.
Work in HE, earn £40k, 30 days hol, can wfh most of the time, 37hrs p/w on a compressed fortnight, 4 days/5 days (so work alternate Fridays). Not a fulfilling job but lots of pros nonetheless.
IT manager £50k plus annual performance bonus.
I work 8 hours a week and earn £7k a year, I like being home to do the school run and be around in school holidays if I worked more we would have to pay more in childcare, my husband works from home when I work in the holidays juggling those 8 hours can be a nightmare.
Emergency Medicine Registrar. € 85k a year. Worked during college since I was 18 doing loads of various things from working in medical records one week and phlebotomy the next. Aids me now as I know most of the staff in every department! Most weeks it's 65 hours.
Intrigued as you say police office staff… I looked at jobs for police as admin and couldn’t find anything… pay is shockingly low.. is it a stressful job ?
£48k a year in data analysis, hubs makes £72k , we’re both 32. It was a slog to get to this point and 5 years ago couldn’t have dreamed of such money but it’s all relative tbh, don’t feel much richer day to day, just more secure. Got a mortgage now and paid off cars, healthy savings. If we have a baby I’d like to drop down to 3 days a week.
I’m a team manager of a care service, with vulnerable adults. Working full time at 37 hours per week for £27,000 a year. Get additional payments for being on call, albeit they are low amounts.
Im a Health care assistant , I work in a GP surgery . I'm a trained phlebotomist among many other things , I get an amazing £10 an hour 
which is pretty darn tit. Hoping to do a nursing apprenticeship one day . I could get £12 / 13 an hour in McDonald's though .
