RE: Freedom of Information request - Staff pay bands
Thank you for your freedom of information request of 19 March 2024, allocated reference RFI 089.
Your request has been handled in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I confirm that the SSRO holds the information you have requested.
Please find in the table below the job titles, number of individuals with each job title and pay bands in relation to the roles we had as at 31 March 2023.
