Proud to be a Real Living Wage Employer
We are extremely proud to be a Real Living Wage Employer. Everyone working for us receives a minimum hourly wage of £10.90, the Real Living Wage, as announced in October 2022. This is significantly higher than the statutory ‘national living wage’, which is the legal minimum for over 22s of £9.18, as introduced in April 2022.
The Real Living Wage is an hourly rate set independently, updated annually and is calculated according to the real costs of living. We choose to pay this as a voluntary commitment to our employees. This is because we know that our staff are our greatest asset and we value and appreciate the work that each and every one of them does to make a difference.
What we do
Without exception, all our services are community based. We know that support needs to be both practical and accessible, and B-Inspired is dedicated to ensuring residents are at the very heart of what we are about.
