Pay grade | Claims government's 'war zone' HR role doesn't pay enough

The Government’s headline-making posting of a new HR role is being questioned over whether it pays enough.

The ‘high-profile and stretching role’ has a salary of up to £60,635 and would see the successful candidate revising HR policies and ensuring these rules are ‘fit for purpose’.

Yet, Buzzfeed reports indicated that the role would exist partly in order to reign in Dominic Cummings, Boris Johnson and 10 Downing Street’s Chief Adviser.

The internet news outlet published comments from a senior civil servant – the successful applicant would operate within the civil service – which indicated the role was created in response to concerns about special advisors by Cummings.
