Like most careers, the more responsibility one gains, the higher the salary. Although, the disparity between the lowest-paid and highest-paid roles in HR is quite vast. For example, assistants in HR tend to enjoy fairly average salaries, somewhere around £43,000 annually, while HR directors easily earn more than £100,000 per year. The average salary for a full-time UK worker is currently £38,600, revealing that even entry-level HR positions pay more than a common living wage.
