Here are the 9 worst paid jobs in the UK

Carers are in charge of looking after people of all ages and from all walks of life. Some take responsibility for the elderly and ensure they're comfortable later in life, while others look after small children, and those with physical and mental disabilities.

Most commonly found in supermarkets, check out workers ensure that we pay the right amount for our shopping, and are fairly poorly compensated for doing so. The rise of self-checkouts means that there are fewer check out workers than ever before.

Kitchen assistants undertake a variety of tasks in restaurant kitchens and for catering companies. Generally speaking, they're responsible for things like cleaning dishes and the basic preparation of food, but may be given more responsibility.

Dry cleaners take responsibility for making sure that their clients look as sharp as possible by expertly laundering peoples clothes. What do they get in return? An average salary of just £14,320 per year.

Hairdressers must undergo a pretty substantial amount of training before they're let loose on paying customers, often taking a college course in hairdressing. Despite that they're some of the worst paid workers in the UK.

In this job you can do anything from pouring pints in a dive pub, to creating fancy cocktails for the rich and famous in luxury hotels. Regardless of what kind of drinks you make, you won't earn much, as bar workers are some of the worst paid people in the UK.

Theme park attendants spend their whole day in and around rollercoasters, doing anything from helping to operate rides, cleaning up after people get a little queasy, and selling people tickets or snacks. Regardless of what they do, and how fun their workplace is, they're the second worst paid workers in the whole UK.

Waiters deliver food and drink to diners in restaurants and cafes, but also handle cleaning and inventory duties once in a while. Despite all their tasks, they get paid poorly, and are the lowest paid workers in the UK.
