We listed 56 senior roles in Bristol from 10 employers in September 2026. 21 of them stated a salary (37.5%). 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.
2 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This page records September 2026. 4 of these 5 roles have since come off the board — filled, expired or withdrawn — and are marked below. For what is open now, see the live board.

What the list does not show
Only 21 of 56 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.
