Revealed: the 3 best-paid jobs being advertised in Chesterfield right now – the top one pays £78,750
Financial controller roles are the best-paid jobs being advertised in and around Chesterfield right now, with a median salary of £78,750 a year, according to new analysis by recruitment agency Bernoullis Group. Management accountant (£45,000) and sales advisor (£31,750) complete the top three.
The agency looked at 79 job adverts with an annual salary covering Chesterfield, 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 controller – median £78,750 a year (2 adverts)
• Management accountant – median £45,000 a year (2 adverts)
• Sales advisor – median £31,750 a year (2 adverts)
"The top-paying roles in Chesterfield are mostly senior, specialist or qualified jobs – but plenty of people get there by moving up from an entry role in the same field," said a spokesperson for Bernoullis Group. "If one of these is where you want to be, look at what the adverts ask for and work back from there."
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.
