NORWICH-based provider Black Swan Care Group has renewed its commitment to providing the Real Living Wage to all of its employees.
All Black Swan staff are now paid at least the Real Living Wage of £12 per hour. Well over half of its staff are paid in excess of this amount.
Managing director Tom Lyons said: “Our staff deserve to be rewarded with fair and reasonable pay, reflecting their hard work and dedication in whatever their role they undertake in our homes.
“We’re delighted to renew our commitment and to be accredited by the Living Wage Foundation in giving our staff a wage that meets everyday needs and sits above the statutory Government minimum wages.”
Black Swan provides care and support to more than 700 people in 22 residential care homes in Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire and employs nearly 900 people.
