Real Living Wage increase 2025

The Real Living Wage increases to £12.60 per hour from 1 April 2025. 

We will apply this new hourly rate to the salaries of all Grade 1 employees from 1 April 2025 with the first payment received in 1 April 2025 pay.   

This increase is in advance of the 2025 to 2026 pay settlement. When that is reached we will update all staff as soon as possible with the changes and any back dated pay at Grade 1 will be for any increase above the £12.60 per hour rate.
