Examining the salary figures further, there are some interesting differences to last year’s data that can be explored. Last year, private sector jobs consistently saw higher averages than the public sector. This year, however, there’s an element of back and forth, with the public sector showing higher salaries for apprentices, middle management and board level. As stated previously, board level data may be unreliable due to small response numbers, but is interesting, nonetheless.

Data rounded to neared 1 decimal point
Non-profit / charity employers are consistently below the levels of both private and public sector salaries. It seems logical these organisations would need to keep costs and expenditure down to deliver their purpose or charitable actions. This must be balanced with the need to attract and retain talent, remaining competitive within the job market, without impacting budgetary needs. It’s always important to note that salary is only part of an individual’s overall remuneration package. Other benefits offered to workers can account for variations in salary and will be explored further later in the report. 65% of respondents state that when recruiting, CIPP qualifications are either desirable or essential.
