For some roles, staff will now see their hourly rates increase by 22 per cent as a result of the decision. Samantha Woosnam, head of HR for the organisation, said: “Our employees consistently go above and beyond in their duties to ensure our residents receive the level of care they so richly deserve and our decision to increase wages recognises this hard work and loyalty at a time when many are feeling the pressure as a result of increased household bills.
The latest pay increases will become effective immediately and it will be the biggest pay rise to be awarded in Coverage Care’s 25 years of existence. “We’ve worked particularly hard on putting together training and development programmes for our employees and we will support any member of staff who wishes to progress within the company.
