Belfast jobs: the 5 highest-paying roles employers are advertising right now – up to £56,250

Financial advisor roles are the best-paid jobs being advertised in and around Belfast right now, with a median salary of £56,250 a year, according to new analysis by recruitment agency Bernoullis Group. Management accountant (£49,362) and HGV mechanic (£44,400) complete the top three.

The agency looked at 113 job adverts with an annual salary covering Belfast, posted on a major UK job board between 1 September and 10 November 2026, and ranked the job titles that appeared on at least two adverts by their median advertised pay. The best-paid were:

• Financial advisor – median £56,250 a year (2 adverts)

• Management accountant – median £49,362 a year (2 adverts)

• HGV mechanic – median £44,400 a year (2 adverts)

• Recruitment consultant – median £41,250 a year (2 adverts)

• Data analyst trainee – median £40,000 a year (4 adverts)

"Salaries move fast when employers can't find the right people," said a spokesperson for Bernoullis Group. "These are the roles where Belfast businesses are prepared to pay the most right now, and the skills behind them are worth investing in."

The agency's tips for getting paid what you're worth:

• Check the advertised range for your role locally before any pay review or interview.

• Ask for the salary range up front – many employers will share it if asked.

• Look at the whole package: pension, bonus, hybrid working and training can be worth thousands.

About the figures: Bernoullis Group took the midpoint of each advertised salary range and calculated the median for each job title, grouping close variants of the same title. Only titles appearing on at least two adverts were included, and some titles appear on only a few, so the figures are a snapshot of advertised pay rather than what everyone in these jobs earns. The figures do not cover every vacancy. Bernoullis Group is a UK recruitment agency.
