Gender Pay Gap Reporting

We have a legal obligation to report our Gender Pay Gap for 2023, which outlines the difference between male and female hourly pay.

• Our gender pay gap is 7.9% (mean pay) and (0% median pay)

This means that when we consider the whole organisation female employees are currently paid, on average, 7.9% less than male employees.  This figure recognises the significant number of female support workers we have within Blackwood.  We have a robust pay structure and pay a minimum of Scottish Living Wage with the large majority of our employees being paid above this rate. This means that all our team members are paid the same salary for doing the same role, regardless of whether they are male or female.
