85K is definitely not the top but not the bottom either, band 9 starts at 79K a year aprox . the fork is between 79.5k and 100k roughly speaking.

Ahhh, I see, thanks. It looks kind of low though, doesn’t it? I would have thought that band 9, by its nature would have started at a higher figure.

Question 2

Nursing Is it that difficult to get a band 9 nursing job? I’m trying but don’t seem to succeed.

Yep, not easy to find plus a lot are managerial positions and are not advertised with reference to bands. At least that’s my experience.
