Advertised pay
These are pay ranges written in job adverts, not the official NHS Band 6 pay scale. Source: the pay text in each live advert listed on SponsorHire on 27 October 2026. Advertised figures can include high cost area supplements or other additions, so they may sit above or below the national scale. The official Agenda for Change pay scales are published by NHS Employers.
| Pay basis | Adverts | Typical range (10th–90th percentile) |
|---|---|---|
| Annual | 174 | £39,959–£54,254 |
| Hourly | 2 | – (fewer than 10 adverts) |
| Not stated | 3 | – |
Pay is as written in each advert. The range runs from the 10th percentile of advertised lower bounds to the 90th percentile of upper bounds, and is shown only where 10 or more adverts give that pay basis.
Things to know
- The band is taken from the advert text; adverts without a stated band are not counted.
- Being on the register means the employer holds a sponsor licence. It does not mean these roles are sponsored: check the advert or ask the employer.
- General information on work visas is on GOV.UK: https://www.gov.uk/browse/visas-immigration/work-visas
