We are extremely proud to announce we are now an accredited living wage employer, ensuring all our fantastic staff receive good pay.
Our living wage commitment will see all 130 members of staff working at Bellcare receive a minimum hourly wage of £10.45 – £11.00.
A member of the Bellcare family Sarah Hayton said: “I love working for Bellcare because of everything they do for me and my colleagues. I believe it is one of the best care companies around, they go above and beyond for us all.
“With everything that’s going at the moment, they keep us safe and have done since the very start of the pandemic. Carol gaining the Real Living Wage accreditation for the company is just the icing on the cake!”
Carol, Director of Bellcare is proud of the achievement: “As a Company, Bellcare does all it can to make our Bellcare Family feel valued and appreciated.
“We know how hard being a Community Home Carer can be, getting accredited with the Living Wage Foundation will go towards showing respect and admiration to our workforce.”
Katherine Chapman, Director, Living Wage Foundation said: “We’re delighted that Bellcare has joined the movement of over 6000 responsible employers across the UK who voluntarily commit to go further than the government minimum to make sure all their staff earn enough to live on.
“They join thousands of small businesses, as well as household names such as Burberry, Barclays, Chelsea and Everton Football Clubs, Lush, and many more. These businesses recognise that paying the real Living Wage is the mark of a responsible employer and they, like Bellcare, believe that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay.”
