£45,000, not bad for a few weeks of work per annum.
“Per annum” probably means the pay is pro-rated and will be calculated at that annual rate for the weeks of work. It is not the seasonal fee.
This is a big, full time, year round job. It recruits, plans, trains, implements systems, develops and tracks budgets, contributes to strategy. It is the top of the chain. It’s not the seasonal steward role which is paid close to min wage – those are actually the ‘greeter’s of the title here.
