Our standard rate starts from £13.45 per hour, overtime hours are paid at an enhanced rate subject to policy. Good Friday, Easter Monday, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Day are paid at double time. We do not distinguish anyone who is under 25 years of age and therefore operate a scale of hourly pay rates based on the Real Living Wage as its minimum level.
The residents needs are the central element in determining the shift patterns and therefore staff needs. However, we acknowledge the issues this can present for staff members and always endeavour to work with our teams wherever possible to ensure the best outcome is achieved.
