Care workers worse off than two years ago amid declining pay
CARE workers are worse off than they were two years ago during the pandemic and should be given parity with equivalent NHS roles, a new report warned today.
The study by ReWage and the University of Warwick’s Institute for Employment Research found that pay for care workers has declined relative to other low-paid occupations over the last 15 years.
It found that the median carer’s pay has risen by less than £4 an hour in the last 15 years.
