It’s a research institute so I don’t think it’s directly a government role, more like a university. I see adverts at Oxford University for sysadmins at around £45-65k so it’s on the low side for what I consider comparable jobs, but my thinking might be flawed

It's pretty bad considering Oxford prices.

Agreed, although most companies in Oxford never really matched living costs either (well, housing costs) - Oxford Uni pay staff comparably to other companies in the area (like Elsevier or Oxford Computer Consultants). Let alone the low salaries in academia there...
