Award-winning care home supplier, CareHomeLife has accredited as a Living Wage Employer. Their Living Wage commitment will see everyone working at CareHomeLife receive at least a minimum hourly wage of £12, higher than the government minimum for over 21s, which currently stands at £11.44 per hour.

The Lancashire-based business is located in the North West, where 13.5% of all jobs pay less than the real Living Wage – around 397,000 jobs. Despite this, CareHomeLife has committed to pay the real Living Wage and deliver a fair day’s pay for a hard day’s work.

The real Living Wage is the only rate calculated according to the costs of living. It provides a voluntary benchmark for employers that wish to ensure their staff earn a wage they can live on, not just the government minimum. Since 2011 the Living Wage movement has delivered a pay rise to over 460,000 people and put £3 billion extra into the pockets of low paid workers.

Eddy Fishwick, Chairman at CareHomeLife said: “Paying the Living Wage is an important thing to do because we have a responsibility towards our employees’ wellbeing, and that includes their financial health. We are committed to providing a fair deal with employment benefits like a fair wage, sick pay, a pension and health scheme, plus a profit-sharing bonus scheme.”

Katherine Chapman, Director, Living Wage Foundation said: “We’re delighted that CareHomeLife has joined the movement of over 15,000 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, Everton Football Club and many more. These businesses recognise that paying the real Living Wage is the mark of a responsible employer and they, like CareHomeLife, believe that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay.”
