The highest-paid jobs in Leeds

What Leeds was advertising in October 2026, and what it paid.

We listed 23 senior roles in Leeds from 8 employers in October 2026. 17 of them stated a salary (73.9%). These are the 4 highest-paid of them.

How these 4 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.

This page records October 2026. 3 of these 4 roles have since come off the board — filled, expired or withdrawn — and are marked below.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 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:

  • · 4 of these 4 roles were not in the September 2026 list.
  • · 0 of the 3 roles in that list are still advertised.
  • · We listed 26 senior roles in Leeds then, against 23 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A role leaving the list has not necessarily been filled — it may have expired or been withdrawn, and we cannot tell which.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 17 of 23 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.
