Gender Pay Gap Report
Hospiscare is committed to pay scales which reward staff for the role within the organisation irrespective of gender. Hospiscare has a gender pay gap of -2.5% (2023: -6.8%). This means that, on average, female members of staff are paid 2.5% more than men. In producing this analysis, it is apparent that Hospiscare employs proportionately more men in lower quarter roles. This is due to clinical roles within the charity attracting a higher salary and typically being staffed by females compared to those within the organisation’s retail structure which tends to have a more balanced staffing blend but lower rates of pay.
Hospiscare is committed to Equality and Diversity. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative of all sections of society, our local communities and our patients. We want everyone who works for us to feel respected and able to give their best and to achieve their full potential. All Hospiscare roles are evaluated against a set criteria to ensure that they are fairly and consistently remunerated based on required skills and knowledge, and overall responsibility. Hospiscare applies pay rates equally to all genders and seeks to recruit the best person for each individual role.
The Board of Trustees can confirm that the data used in calculating the gender pay gap information was produced in line with the UK Governments requirements.
Brian Aird, Chair of Trustees
