Pay bands

• Consistently over two thirds of staff are employed in bands three to eight
• There has been a small shift in the last two years to fewer staff in bands 3-4 and more in bands 7-8
• Whilst only a small proportion of staff are in the higher pay bands (bands 18-19), these are more likely to be males
• Females dominate the vast majority of bands 1-17 because they account for a higher proportion of staff overall
• Males account for over half of staff in band 3. No-one from an ethnic minority ethnic group works in bands 15-17 or 19
• There is a correlation with pay band and employment category; employees in the lowest pay bands are more likely to be working part-time
• Less than a third of employees in bands 6-15 and band 17 work part-time
• Consistently no employees in band 16 or bands 18-19 work part-time (same in 2022)
