To think that this is way too much to pay someone

[ParadeOfLights]

£33,064 - £43,000 For a “junior” glorified admin role!! I don’t even get that much in a year in my job!!

Job titles can be really out of sync with what you actually do. I've had a job that shares its title with a role paid about half of what I was paid, but in a different and better-known sector, and it was such a pain when we tried to get a mortgage as it kept making people think I'd made an error giving my salary. And think about 'junior' doctors!

I agree with the others saying it's good to see a job advertised with a decent salary (and I hope it is decent for that role).

It's not a junior admin role. It sounds very complex and would need someone with a lot of specific experience. They will want to attract someone with a lot of skills and knowledge.

If it bothers you that much, why don't you apply for the job?

You do it then.

It says on the ad it's in Whitley (Coventry).

I can see what you mean OP - the way its worded is loaded with wanky corporate speak you can't work out what the actual job entails - if it's literally just booking things through a platform then £43k is very high, if there's a lot of compliance monitoring etc then it's more of a data manager role and should be paid accordingly.

I noticed the experience was very specific and again not entirely sure how it links to the actual job role - e.g. by thorough knowledge of GDPR - it's not clear if you would be doing actual data disclosure/management OR it's just a wanky way of saying that you have to be aware you can't give out private customer info over the phone!

I would imagine you probably could hire someone without the experience and train them in the actual tasks for much less (£25k?) but they seem to want someone who already has the knowledge who can jump right in.

Because of the repetition of the 'modern luxury' 'brand' etc I get the feeling that the salary could also be a sneaky way of filtering out the "wrong sort" of person from applying - this is going to sound very snobbish (even though I've personally done the first job rather than the second), but I imagine that the type of person who does admin in their local council benefits dept comes from a different background than one who does an admin job for Jaguar Land Rover...despite the fact both are probably equally competent and could be trained to do the job, they probably want someone who 'fits in' with their high end customer base...

Why does it bother you? If you think you could do it, why don't you apply?

This seems like a clever way to advertise a job. Where's OP.

If a company makes a decent profit, they can pay their staff how they see fit, and hopefully retain them.
My company probably pay well above average for all the roles in the business, and address employees pay accordingly/competitively to keep them.
They are a decent company and can afford to do so

This is really a very good salary for a job that does not require a specific degree/professional qualification considering the location, but I think this is quite a broad skill set to require of 1 person

As well as the compliance etc, the person is required to write presentations etc: requires pretty strong communication skills on top of all the rest. Probably would require 7-10 years experience maybe more to get that skill set too

I think you’re concentrating on the “Junior” part of the job title rather than the “Officer” part. An Officer in that particular company might be a very senior level ranking - therefore a Junior Officer isn’t a junior position overall; it’s just a level below a Senior Officer.

I'm going to be recruiting for a junior team member soon. Just because they’ll be junior to me, it doesn’t mean it’s a basic, unskilled job.

The Jag have always paid a good wage.

Superb! Hope it is…..
