Who lives on their own.. this is in the Civil Service, this is for a person with no children.
Based on 37 hours. I think it's quite poor, just curious to know what people think?

It's not much above minimum wage which is about £23.5k.

What part of the country do they live in with this salary? Do they live with parents or by themselves in rented accomodation or are they house sharing?

Is this a starting salary for the Civil Service role that will go up fairly quickly or is this the average salary for the role?

Sorry, an AO?

Depends on age, for a 21 year old, especially outside of London yes it's a good salary. For a 40 year old it's pretty poor.
