The report at a glance

• Walsingham Support employs significantly more women than men across its workforce with 1,072 total employees in post on the snapshot date, of which 77% identified as female and 23% as male. This is a slightly improved reflection of the wider Social Care Sector which had a spread of 82% female and 18% male employees in 2017/18.

• This means that the average (mean) for women is lower when considering the entire workforce because the overall number of people that figure is calculated from is so much higher. However, the mid-point (median) of each group’s pay illustrates that women are slightly better with a 1.4% higher rate than men. This is a positive gender pay gap measure for a workforce of this distribution.

• Overall, Walsingham Support’s figures compare very favourably against the Office of National Statistics (ONS) 2018 provisional figures which reported the average mean at 17.1% and the average median at 17.9%.

• The statistics show a slightly higher percentage of women than men received bonuses, which reflects the higher female population of the workforce. Additionally, the median illustrates that the mid-point average for each grade indicates an equal rate.

• At the top level the Executive and Senior Leadership Team is made up of 33% male and 67% female employees.

Walsingham Support has, throughout its 30+ years of operating, been fully committed to equality and diversity and has employed people according to the requirements of the role, not according to gender.
