In a sector under pressure to attract and retain great people, Blue Angel
Care’s industry-leading pay increase will be supported by new benefits
designed to foster careers in care.
Blue Angel Care, a leading domiciliary care provider, has announced an average
pay rate increase of 15% of all its Care Givers, including a 20% increase for new
starters. Effective from 1 st April 2023, this significant commitment reflects the
company’s focus on the dedicated people who make exceptional care possible.
“We’re thrilled to announce our new and improved pay rates,” said Dariusz Motyka,
Managing Director at Blue Angel Care. “As an industry, everything we do is about
people—those who provide care, and the lives they touch every day. Our Care
Givers and back office teams work incredibly hard to provide the best care for our
clients, and we believe they deserve to be compensated fairly for their invaluable
work. With these changes, we’re making our domiciliary care business an even
more attractive place to work.”
As a sector, home and domiciliary care faces significant challenges in the pursuit
of consistent service levels, including high vacancy and employee turnover rates.
The role of Care Giver can be demanding, while roles outside of the care sector
may offer higher wages.
“We’re committed to providing excellent quality service,” continued Dariusz. “And
we want to reward our staff, who all share that commitment. Amid the cost of living
crisis, we want to lead our industry by ensuring every Care Giver has the
compensation they need to feel valued and continue doing what they do best.”
Alongside pay increases, Blue Angel Care is introducing new benefits for its Care
Givers, including:
- Employee assistance plans
- Access to a pension scheme
- Improved mileage pay of 40p per business mile
- Training and development opportunities
For Co-founder and Nominated Individual Zul Mamon, it’s a vital step in fostering
lasting careers in care and supporting those who go above and beyond every day.
“Care is our business, but it’s also in our nature and our culture,” said Zul. “It starts
with caring for our employees, because they genuinely care about the work they do.
We’re committed to working together as a team to provide the best possible
care. These new pay rates and benefits are an important part of that commitment.”
Blue Angel Care will continue to provide high-quality services to businesses and
individuals across the UK—and looks forward to welcoming new members into its
team with certainty that they will receive the fair pay and generous benefits they
deserve.
