Earn £19k as a part time teacher (3 days a week). If I was full time it’d be £33k.

Customer services for a pensions company. Part time £10,500 p.a
Bloody hell !!! Can you afford to move ? A senior forensic scientist in Ireland would be on minimum 42'000 euro! Thats awful.
What about working in something like bio chem ? Would the wages be better??? Jaysus I can't believe that. My friend is a forensic scientist and she's on 28'000 starting off !!
Wow fair play with the 5 year progress. I'm a HC worker but one of my brothers is in HR. How did you get the increase? Masters ?
I was headhunted because of the weird and specific combination of language that I speak, which my company needed (we're an international consultancy). I wasn't looking to switch jobs and was quite happy at the company that I worked for at the time. My company was so persistent in trying to persuade me to join them, I smelled their desperation and was cheeky about about my requirements to join them.
They agreed to everything that I asked for on the spot, with no counter offer. I do have a Masters degree, speak a few languages, and have good experience in a niche field - but honestly, I really think that I just had a lucky break. There are lots of hard-working-class and talented people struggling in life, who just haven't been given a chance.
Ah yes, sadly true. I’ve had the reverse experience. My boyfriend is American and one of his good friends over there is a nurse. He casually told me about their decent pay, 40k starting salary as you say (about £30k) and, sad to say, I was shocked..
It is one element of the American private healthcare system that definitely works out well. And one element of the NHS that is a total travesty.
Nurses pay is actually quite a commonly cited controversial issue. You’ll always hear it compared unfavourably to what a footballer earns in a week, or a bankers bonus or something. It’s like a touchstone for inequality in our society and everyone agrees they deserve much more for what they do.
Nothing ever seems to be changing tho.
Boris Johnson promised us 350 million more a WEEK to spend on the nhs if we left the EU. If that was true that would be a real silver lining to the whole thing and would solve so many problems including that one. It’s not though sorry , tangent.
That is sad! It’s actually despicable that they are so underpaid! Things definitely need to change. The work is hard, way too often heartbreaking and to not be appreciated must be awful. I just cannot fathom the wages there. How can they even try to justify it?
And that was my starting salary 20yrs ago! Nowadays with a normal BSN (4 year degree) you start low-mid 50’s. But even with a RN degree (2yrs) you start in the 40’s.
Haha that’s the ONLY good thing about our system here honestly. That people here die bc they cannot get care.. that is unacceptable.
how did you get into this sector?
My husband is an A&E consultant in London, he’s recently been offered a position in the States and his base salary is 3 times as much as he is paid here.
I’m a vet in West Yorkshire and earn £60k a year
The reason why US nurses get paid a higher wage is because it’s private healthcare... over here it’s public healthcare....
But private health care nurses in the UK are poorly paid also.
I’ve not seen that. I work for a private healthcare company, and staff nurses are paid £30k
Good for you ! We should all be demanding what we deserve!I was headhunted because of the weird and specific combination of language that I speak, which my company needed (we're an international consultancy). I wasn't looking to switch jobs and was quite happy at the company that I worked for at the time. My company was so persistent in trying to persuade me to join them, I smelled their desperation and was cheeky about about my requirements to join them.

That’s still way below what we make in the States. That’s sad, should be much higher. And our private insurance doesn’t have to do with our salary. There are state hospitals and private hospitals, and the average is about the same. A starting salary for either (w a 4 yr degree) at a hospital is in the low to mid 50’s
The nurses I hire, for my team, start at that minimum and my top nurse (experience wise) makes over $70k. Our hospital is not private but a state run University hospital
70USD is so high. Thats what we're on as registrars here !
I’m sorry, what is a registrar? I tried to look it up but not sure what it is compared to here. I think it’s probably what we call a resident? If so our interns (after med school for up to 2 yrs) make about $60k then as a resident (can last 3-7/8 yrs depending on speciality) makes from about $70k onward and upward as the years pass during residency.
Our doctors here make around $150k - $300k. Again I’m just quoting what I know in my field (Oncology) and hopsitals I’ve worked at.
And my top nurse has a Masters degree and 15 years experience, that’s reflected in her pay.
