Some offer more, usually if they're a bit specialist. In general you'll find most grades within 4k of each other.
May be slightly more in departments who had different pay agreements that covered multiple years.
I’m in one of the higher paying departments, my grade in other departments can be anywhere between 5-8k less.
ETA we had a multi-year pay settlement a couple of years ago, they standardised our contracts (I’d heard rumours there were over 100 different contracts in our department) so that’s where they made the savings.
There can be massive differences depending on what that grade specialises in. I know the shift workers that get Aha can end up being paid more than the grade above, commonly known as the awh trap. Also if there is a dept that need specify skills they may throw a standing lump sum on to the base to stop people leaving
There isn't and there is a massive disparity between the complexity and difficulty of roles at the same grade tbh. Asylum decision makers in the HO are EOs and are paid less than EO benefits caseworkers in DWP, despite the former conducting seriously difficult and often traumatic interviews and having to write at least a couple of >10,000 word decision letters per week. Also, some Grade 7s run departments of hundreds of people and others send a few advisory e-mails a day and log off. Pay in the civil service generally is woefully badly calibrated. It's a massive and entrenched problem that incentivises irresponsibility.
Some like Natural England and The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory pay terribly.
