Benchmarking Studies
Social Care Reward: Pay, Terms and Conditions 2025
The UK Social Care sector’s reward benchmarking study.
What is Social Care Reward?
The Social Care Reward: Pay, Terms and Conditions 2025 benchmarking study enables UK not-for-profit social care organisations to benchmark their pay and benefits packages for 27 front-line roles in 9 English Regions, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
The study is supported by the National Care Forum (NCF) and Voluntary Organisations Disability Group (VODG).
Why take part?
- Get the latest data on reward packages offered across the not-for-profit social care sector, by region and role.
- See how competitive your reward offer is in attracting and retaining front line workers.
- Inform and shape reward strategies for the coming year.
“The challenges that a not-for-profit social care organisation faces to balance rewarding employees fairly within financial constraints is greatly assisted by participating in the Agenda Reward survey, which focusses exclusively on reward in the social care not-for-profit sector.
The survey enables us to benchmark our reward and helps us plan for the following year. It also provides us with robust information when we talk to commissioners about their approaches to pricing.” – Geralyn Meehan, Director of HR, Milestones Trust
