The NHS is once again on the lookout for the country’s finest minds to tackle its biggest post-pandemic problem: it’s currently advertising for 12 diversity, inclusion and social equality roles across the country, with salaries reaching up to £108,075. An overall annual bill of £618,612…

This is on top of the 8 diversity managers who were hired on £50,000 salaries at the start of this year, and includes managerial positions with responsibilities such as:
