Our 2025 Gender Pay Gap
Foreward by Lisa Cole, Chief People Officer
We recognise that workforce composition within the Health and Social Care sector continues to play a significant role in shaping gender pay outcomes. Skills for Care’s ‘The state of the adult social care sector and workforce in England’ report in 2025 (skillsforcare.org.uk) confirmed that the sector gender balance is improving with 21% men.
At Achieve together, we are proud to have a more balanced gender mix with 65% women and 35% men in the snapshot year, which represents improvement to the gender balance from our 2024 position of 68% women and 32% men. This reflects our commitment to creating opportunities for progression and development at all levels.
The results of our Gender Pay Gap report for 2025, taken on the snapshot date of 5 April 2025, show a further improvement in our overall position. Our mean gender pay gap has reduced to 0.5% (from 0.8% in 2024), and our median gender pay gap has reduced to 0.8% (from 3.4% in 2024). These results remain significantly lower than both the sector 7.5% gender pay gap (gov.uk) and the UK average of 12.8% (gov.uk) and demonstrate our ongoing commitment to fair and equal pay for all.
We recognise that closing the gender pay gap requires sustained focus and long-term commitment. Our Board and Executive team remain fully committed to equality, diversity and inclusion, and to ensuring fair and equitable outcomes for all colleagues.
