I was watching a newly qualified nurse on YouTube and her reasoning for leaving the NHS.

Anyways she had just qualified and they put her as a charge nurse for the night. I know the NHS is under tremendous pressure but I believe that a role of such responsibility would be left to an individual at a much higher banding pay wise. If she is being asked to take on responsibility beyond her banding's experience level then why aren't they just paying her at the higher banding regardless of experience?
I feel like this can be a common phenomenon in the UK, employees being asked to do work that is beyond the scope of their supposed experience level. Is this the case? Does experience only matter when it comes to pay? AIBU to even ask this question and it's just supposed to be a given? I feel like the country I used to live in had more defined job roles but people in jobs here that are below a certain level of pay are being asked to take on responsibility that is far above their supposed experience level.
Basically AIBU to wonder if experience only matters when it comes to exploiting workers salaries since that's just a given? Or is that a bit jaded?
