Under new legislation, from April 2017 all organisations that employ over 250 employees are required to report annually on their gender pay gap. The gender pay gap looks at the difference between the average earnings of all male and female employees, irrespective of their role. It is therefore distinct from equal pay, which compares male and female employees performing equivalent roles.

Understanding the data

ENS Recruitment Ltd is a leading health and social care recruiter and training provider for staff across the private and public sectors. These include the NHS, local authorities, housing associations and nursing and residential care providers. We also provide support packages for people who need help living independently.

The data shows that our workforce is predominantly female as is typical in the care industry (NHS England report 79.6% female in the lower quartile). This is also reflected in administrative and management positions, however on a board level there is a more equal split between male and female staff.

This is reflected in our figures where we have female staff earning on average 13.3% more than men, largely due to a higher proportion of female staff in supervisor and management positions. As a result of having fewer male staff throughout the company, except for at the board level, the bonus figures look higher for male staff.

We are committed to paying fair and equal pay for equivalent roles. All data has been calculated according to the Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017.
