About these pay figures
Pay is the average for each role from Skills for Care's The state of the adult social care sector and workforce in England, 2026 (published October 2026; data 2025/26, with independent-sector pay as at March 2026). Yearly figures are full-time (37 hours a week). Since 1 April 2026 the National Living Wage is £12.71 an hour for workers aged 21 and over, so hourly pay today should be at least that. Pay within a role rises little with experience (about 12p an hour more after five years). Moving up a step is where it usually increases. Routes and qualifications vary by employer.
