Gender Pay Gap Report

The Care Services industry is predominantly staffed by women.  Two key drivers for this are:

• The majority of applicants are women, whether it is searching for this kind of role and/or for a part time role that offers greater flexibility.
• The other main factor is driven by our service users (55% male, 45% female), who predominantly prefer to have female carers. In some areas we continue to find it difficult to place capable male staff with our service users.

We acknowledge a minor gender pay gap at Clece Care Services. This discrepancy largely stems from a higher proportion of men in fewer administrative roles, set against our predominantly female workforce, alongside the preference of part-time hours for many colleagues. Additionally, the preference of part-time contracts for numerous female employees in the field, in comparison to our predominately office-based men team members, impacts these figures. Having a predominantly female workforce means that even small fluctuations in the male workforce can have a significant impact upon our Gender Pay Gap.

It is our strict policy to maintain equal pay for male and female employees across all departments and levels within the organisation. We ensure fairness and transparency in compensation, regardless of gender.
