Glassdoor | Revealed: The best jobs in the UK for 2018

The role of HR manager is one of the best jobs available in the UK this year, according to research from Glassdoor.

The researchers compared salaries, average job satisfaction and the number of openings to calculate a score, then ranked the roles against each other. HR manager (£45,750 base salary) comes in at number six on the list, whilst Recruiter scrapes in at number 19 (£25,000 base salary).

Top of the list, however, is Marketing Manager, with a base salary of £42,000 and an average job satisfaction of 4/5.

“Although tech jobs don’t make the Top 10 this year, jobs in finance and other more highly-skilled traditional roles remain prominent in the UK,” said Dr. Andrew Chamberlain, Glassdoor Chief Economist. “However, this year will see AI and job automation impact every facet of the UK workforce in some way, and two industries that are ripe for considerable changes in 2018 are human resources and finance. Revolutionary new AI tools are complementing people’s skills in both these industries, which could upend many established and easy-to-automate roles that we see in this list.”
