ONS figures for each year, not adjusted for inflation. Years before 2021 used a different occupation classification, so they can't be compared. Earlier years are ONS's revised figures; the latest is provisional.
ONS didn't publish salary figures for Complementary health associate professionals in 2026: too few full-time employees were in the survey sample for a reliable estimate. This is common for jobs where many people are self-employed, because the survey only covers employees.
The wider group Health Associate Professionals (SOC 321) has a median of £30,753 a year.
ONS did publish a mean of £27,809, which is less reliable than a median would be.
