I work under a pay grade for researchers with a PhD. In this category you can earn between £29 and £35 thousand a year. Not that I get all of that as I pay tax, into my pension scheme, pay off my student loan from university and into my national insurance.
There are different levels of Biomedical Scientist (BMS) in NHS so it’s probably better to give you an idea of the different salaries as they are at the moment:
Band 5 – £21,388 – £27,901 (new graduate/trainee BMS)
Band 6 – £25,783 – £34,530 (Specialist BMS)
Band 7 – £30,764 – £40,558 (Senior/Advanced BMS)
There are high salaries but the ones above are generally the pay scales for scientists that do lab work.
