Home From Home Care marks 20th anniversary with staff pay rise
Learning disabilities care provider, Home From Home Care, has marked its 20th anniversary by offering a 4% pay rise for its 500 employees.
The inflationary pay rise, which has been brought forward from April, means all workers earn at least the real living wage of £12 an hour.
Managing director and co-founder of Home From Home Care, Paul de Savary, said: “20 years ago, we had this idea of creating a care environment like no other; one that truly supports the aspirations of adults with learning disabilities, autism and complex physical and mental health to live their lives to the fullest and which would give their families confidence.
“In reality it’s a journey that has no ending as we continually focus on creating and maintaining a successful organisation that can transform the lives of the 90 individuals that we support in Lincolnshire.
“At the heart of everything is our Just Culture of transparency, collaborative working, creative solutions and a shared sense of purpose and belonging, together with our outstanding technology and groundbreaking use of data. It’s our ability to empower colleagues to be more effective and understanding, making our care homes homely for individuals with the most complex needs. We’re enabling them to live life on their own terms and interact with their local communities, whilst making care an exciting and well paid career with a 100 different roles.
“Here, colleagues are respected and rewarded for making a real difference in the lives of others, whilst simultaneously realising their own potential. As a family we want to thank our dedicated, creative and empathetic colleagues, so we’re bringing forward our inflationary increase in pay to give everyone an extra pay boost at the start of our anniversary year.
“There’ll be other exciting news from us in the year ahead, but I think it’s right to start off our 20th
anniversary celebration with a big, bold, thank you to everyone who is helping to make our dream come true.”
