At Hierarchy Support Services, we’re proud to announce that we are an officially accredited Living Wage Employer.

This means every single member of our team – whether full-time, part-time, or bank staff – earns a wage that reflects the true cost of living, not just the government minimum. We’ve always believed in valuing our team, and this accreditation reflects our ongoing commitment to treating our staff with the fairness, dignity, and respect they deserve.

What Is the Real Living Wage?

Unlike the National Minimum Wage or National Living Wage set by the government, the Real Living Wage is calculated by the Living Wage Foundation based on what people need to get by. It’s higher than the legal minimum and is independently calculated each year to reflect real-life costs like rent, utilities, and food.

By becoming a Living Wage Employer, we are joining thousands of other responsible employers across the UK who believe that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay.

Why It Matters

Our work is built around supporting others — and we believe that starts with supporting our own team. Paying the Real Living Wage helps us:

  • Attract and retain amazing, caring staff
  • Reduce in-work poverty and financial stress
  • Show our team that their contribution is genuinely valued
  • Stay aligned with our values of dignity, respect, and equal opportunities

A Thank You to Our Team

This is more than a badge — it’s a commitment. Our staff go above and beyond every day to make a difference in the lives of the people we support. Paying a fair wage is just one way we show our appreciation.

We’re excited about what this means for our team and proud to stand alongside other organisations that are making this positive change.
