It appears somewhat bizarre that the NHS would spaff money away on a role that isn't medical and isn't needed.
Anyone who has spent time in a Birmingham hospital, or frankly just about anywhere else in the UK would see the most diverse and inclusive workforce on the planet. The NHS need no help to employ staff no matter their race,  religion or sexual orientation - they've done a fabulous job already.

I thought one of the ministers were trying to do away with these sort of jobs on EDI? Obviously all subject to the next government now. 

I work in the civil service and many of the SCS will be on six figures.

"Repeated cases of bullying and a toxic environment at one of England's largest NHS trusts have been found in a review.

The Bewick report was ordered after a BBC Newsnight investigation heard from staff at University Hospitals Birmingham (UHB) saying a climate of fear had put patients at risk."

You're focussing on the diversity aspect. These sort of roles also cover patients (in fact, they may actually report into the patient care section of the NHS, not HR) and ensure the provision of services such as BSL signers for deaf patients.

Not saying its worth that pay though!

There are 215 NHS trusts in the UK, so if each is paying the medium figure that would be over £19M.  Yikes

If you're intimating that a Director of Equality Diversity and Inclusion will fix a "toxic bullying" workplace then I'll tell you it won't.

For the full Daily Express effect, you're meant to also convert that into the "number of full time equivalent nurses" currency.

What makes you think the role would be a "lucrative gravy train"? It's a good salary sure, but reflects a senior leadership role involving leading & managing a function, project management, legal & reg compliance, reporting into the board, etc... 

For an employer as large as an NHS trust (where good people really are a key resource) ensuring you're treating staff well, monitoring this and tackling D&I issues are pretty important. *Lots* of comparable private sector organisations where people are a key asset have these types of role.

senior leaders who  focus on  changing culture are the kind of people  who will fix  toxic workplaces,   especially once the  main ringleaders  are  moved  on
