The worst part is that people are willing to supply their labour at this price level: "31 Applicants"
I'm sure at least 30 out of the 31 are woefully under-qualified. Even for a government role I would expect 2.5-3x the salary.

So it's not _the_ Head - but _a_ head, and that 'head' has a relatively minor / junior manager role.
Cost of goods here have in some cases doubled. Not to mention the housing situation, people are selling up to rent because of interest rates driving rent up.
The thing I don't get about it is that not all UK public services are like this. I know as a fact that senior programmers with the NHS make 70-80k. A project lead can get close to 100k. No idea what the Treasury is thinking here.

Non-manager caps at ~£48k for most technical roles.
It seems fairly unlikely to me as UK tax and NI would be around 50% plus everything you purchase has 20% VAT. Sure medical insurance in the US is insane but surely that doesn't quite cover it.

Plus of course, they may already have an internal candidate and simply advertise it for policy requirements, with a view to only considering applicants if they're much more qualified
Salaries in the UK are abysmal. Cost of goods here have in some cases doubled. Not to mention the housing situation, people are selling up to rent because of interest rates driving rent up.
