As you can see these are the positions that pay the most. However, there is a great range from as low as 21,000 to as high as 85,000. Actaully, compared to the last few years this year is a big outlier. Most senior positions usally cluster around 30-40k but this year say some very senior positions open up at English Heritage and National Trust. You probably won’t see pay this high for a while.
