Give all Private Sector Home Care Support Workers a Pay Rise

All private sector carers deserve a pay rise, especially those visiting the vulnerable in their own homes

The Government is not responsible for deciding how much privately employed workers are paid. This is a matter for individual employers. We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:

Increase minimum wage for social care staff to £10.72: Increase minimum wage for social care staff to £10.72

Raise the minimum wage for Domiciliary Care Workers to £12 per hour immediately: Raise the minimum wage for Domiciliary Care Workers to £12 per hour immediately
