The start of the current pay scale for a Band 6 Clinical Scientist
(which most trainees would be appointed to) is £24,831 per
annum (for trainees in London this is augmented by a High Cost
Area Allowance (previously known as the London Weighting
Allowance of between 5% and 20% of salary depending on
where you work in London). Students normally start at or near
the bottom and progress up the scale by annual increment.
It is for employing authorities to determine at which scale point
trainees will commence, based upon candidates' previous
experience and qualifications. Some programmes offer a
generous bursary and others a combination of salary and bursary.
In Band 6, the trainee will be entitled to 27 days of paid annual
leave, in addition to the statutory public holidays.
Examination fees as well as travel and subsistence costs, for
both secondments and attendance at courses (many positions incorporate a taught MSc), will be paid by
the employing authority in many instances.
