You can apply for any number of the 426 jobs on offer in government this week. You can see a breakdown of sector and salary bands in the table on the right taken from the Guardian jobs website.
Our non-job of the week comes from Surrey County Council:
“Publicity Manager
£40,000 - £50,000
We need a creative and motivated person to run high profile campaigns that really make a difference for people in Surrey.
Combine experience with a new, fresh and proactive approach to communications – and you could be our new Publicity Manager.
If you are interested in joining the award-winning communications team at Surrey County Council, we would like to hear form you.”
Yes, the ad did say “form you”.
£50k for a spin doctor is just unacceptable. Surrey County Council has produced yet another council tax hike while their top brass enjoy £10,000 booze ups at the taxpayers’ expense and now squander taxpayers’ money with this non-job.
The council leader is Nick Skellett. Please advise him that a council tax cut would provide better publicity than a spin doctor.
