I have brought this to the attention of the National Trust Human Resources Department and they are going to check the MA guidelines.
It remains to be seen whether this has any effect (this was not the only job advertised at this rate in their recent jobs email).

Should GEM be advertising jobs that are so obviously underpaid?
This salary is not even on the recognised pay scale of the Museums Association.
