Radfield Home Care Worcester increasing home care wages to new Real Living Wage

Radfield Home Care Worcester, Droitwich Malvern has increased its hourly rate for its home care jobs, in line with the latest Real Living Wage recommendation.

As part of the organisation’s unique home care employee satisfaction programme, the Caring for our Carers pledge, Radfield Home Care Worcester, Droitwich Malvern is increasing its hourly rate for its home care jobs. This is inline with the latest lift in pay rates by the Living Wage Foundation, calculated each year independent of the government’s guidelines on the true cost of living and income requirements for employees and their families to live well.

Understanding and rewarding the valuable work care assistants undertake every day in the UK, Radfield Home Care operates its Caring for our Carers pledge across the country to support its home care professionals. As well as providing excellent rates of pay such as the Real Living Wage, Radfield Home Care Worcester, Droitwich Malvern also offers career progression opportunities, employee recognition schemes and a supportive work environment to its care team.

What does the real Living Wage mean to you? from Living Wage Foundation on Vimeo.


Director of Radfield Home Care Worcester, Droitwich & Malvern, Dawn Phillips said: “I am so proud of the home care services our carers provide, they are pillars of the community with the support they provide our elderly clients. The Real Living Wage is my way of saying thank you to them for their efforts and recognising their hard work.”


The current minimum government guidelines for hourly rates are dependent on age, whereas the Real Living Wage will be paid to all of Radfield Home Care Worcester, Droitwich & Malvern care assistants regardless of their age. This will mean Radfield Home Care employees will earn more than the equivalent age-based minimum wage.

As an accredited Living Wage Employer, Radfield Home Care Worcester, Droitwich & Malvern is also helping support the national shortage of social care workers by encouraging more individuals to consider working with people in home care jobs as a rewarding career in care.
