Care workers' salaries have only ridden by 4% in the last four years, while managers' pay has risen by 12%.
According to the latest figures from the
Skills for Care national minimum data set the average salary paid to a care worker over the last twelve months was only £500 more than it was in 2007. Meanwhile, the salaries of registered managers have increased by £3,100 on average.
Perhaps more shockingly a quick analysis of the figures shows that care workers salaries have fallen in the last 12 months.
I can't say I know why this is but it appears that not all workers are being rewarded equally for the growth in the sector.
