We listed 20 senior roles in Birmingham from 9 employers in October 2026. 18 of them stated a salary (90.0%). These are the 5 highest-paid of them.
How these 5 were chosen
The highest-paid permanent roles in the city that stated a salary clearing £100,000, on the day this was captured, with at most one role per employer. Not “the most interesting”, which is not a claim anyone could check. A role advertised at an hourly or daily rate is ranked on a full-time-year equivalent so it can be compared with a salary; the advertised figure is always the one shown, never the conversion. Roles with no stated pay cannot appear here at all, which is a limitation of the list rather than of the roles.
4 of these 5 advertise the identical figure, so they share a rank and are marked = rather than numbered. Most often that is the national consultant pay scale, which is one published number rather than an employer's offer — so the roles carrying it are not ranked against each other here, because nothing about their pay would order them.
This page records October 2026. 1 of these 5 roles has since come off the board — filled, expired or withdrawn — and is marked below. For what is open now, see the live board.

What changed since September 2026
The two lists were captured 17 days apart, so this is a comparison of two snapshots rather than of two whole months. Over that gap:
- · 5 of these 5 roles were not in the September 2026 list.
- · 1 of the 5 roles in that list is still advertised.
- · We listed 20 senior roles in Birmingham then, against 20 now.
A role leaving the list has not necessarily been filled — it may have expired or been withdrawn, and we cannot tell which. And a role being new to the list does not mean it is newly advertised: it may have been on the board in September 2026 and simply outranked by something that has since closed. What the turnover does show is that a ranking like this describes a week or two, not a season, which is why these pages are dated and kept rather than updated.
What the list does not show
Only 18 of 20 roles stated a salary, so this ranks a minority and says nothing about the rest. The pattern is the one we find everywhere: public-sector and clinical employers publish pay and most private ones do not, so a list ordered by advertised salary tends to fill up with healthcare wherever it is drawn.
