The BBC is 'Fleecing' license cost payers by hearing a £ 125,000 a year, members have complained.
The company offers the generous salary for a head of diversity, inclusion and connectedness that will be responsible for creating 'an inclusive workplace culture where everyone thinks they can hear'.
The position was announced at a time when the BBC has admitted that it had 'serious errors' by blowing £ 400,000 on a Gaza documentary with the teenage son of a Hamas government official.
It also tries to earn back £ 200,000 from cessed news anchor huw Edwards who was paid to him between his arrest for images of child abuse and his resignation.
The successful candidate will lead a team of 'specialized diversity, inclusion and interests of interests' and 'include inclusive practices in recruitment, retention, development and involvement'.
Tory MP Joe Robertson said: 'Again, British license fees become fleeced – more too many paid management roles means more nonsense on television.
'Diversity and inclusion must already be embedded via the BBC and supported by the HR department. These coarse too many paid roles must be deleted. '
Reform MP Rupert Lowe posted on X: “We have to delete the license fee, make it a subscription service and let the people decide – suck out the poison.”

A BBC source said that the hybrid post, which is 35 hours a week, would consolidate two roles in the diversity and inclusion team, which is part of its HR department.
It comes as a circumstance huw Edwards is 'not willing' to repay the £ 200,000 salary that he has caught between his arrest and dismissal, has unveiled a BBC boss.
Chairman Samir Shah today admitted that the company has not yet been able to recover a salary from the former BBC star, who was convicted last year for downloading images for sexual abuse of children, and described the situation as 'quite frustrating'.
Last year, Edwards, 63, received a six -month prison sentence for two years, after he admitted that he had indecent images of children.
After his guilty plea in July, the BBC asked him to return his salary that he was paid during the period after his arrest in November 2023 until he resigned in April 2024.
Asked if they were able to recover from Edwards on Tuesday during the culture, media and sports committee, said Dr. Shah: “We didn't have it … We have clearly asked, and we often said it, but he seems unwilling.”
And in a different controversy for the BBC, the teenage son of a Hamas leader who has told the Gaza documentary of the BBC warned the company that he holds it responsible if 'something happens' with him.
Abdullah Al-Yazouri, from Gaza, Palestine, has contributed to the recent controversial documentary Gaza: how to survive a war zone.

The film was taken out of Iplayer last month after the BBC acknowledged 'serious errors' in how it was produced.
Viewers were not told that Abdullah, the 14-year-old boy who told it, was the son of a senior Hamas minister.
Later it also turned out that about £ 790 was paid in a bank account of the sister of Abdullah.
Their father, Ayman al-Yazouri, is the deputy Minister of Agriculture in Gaza, run by Hamas.
The funds, which are equivalent to the one -month's salary in Gaza, were transferred by the production company Hoyo Films, which made the program. A complete audit of the money used to make the program has been demanded by the BBC.
