About working for Aspens

We aspire to be leaders in our field, setting the highest possible standards for the care of the people we support. Our dedication to caring for people applies to our valued workforce as well as to the people our organisation exists to support. Through the provision of staff training and ongoing opportunities for professional development, we ensure that our staff have the necessary skills and knowledge to deliver the very highest standards of care to the people we support.

Equal opportunities employer

Aspens offers flexible working hours and we’re proud that the gender pay gap* (see below) for 2018/19 at Aspens Charities reduced to 1.2% in favour of females, compared to a national average hourly rate that is 1.7% higher for males.

We strive to create an inclusive and engaging culture which cultivates strong, informed leaders. One of our top priorities as an organisation is to provide a working environment in which everyone feels valued no matter what their age, race, religion or philosophical belief, gender, sexual orientation, family status or disability.

*Gender Pay Gap Report

The attached gender pay gap report as at 05/04/2020 has been accepted by the executive as correct.

In order to reduce the gap the following measures have been taken:

  • A manager’s framework has been introduced ensuring all manager’s pay is equal for the appropriate roles. 
  • Aspens is an equal opportunities employer, ensuring it is neutral in respects of race, gender, age and belief.
  • Unfortunately, we are not at the point where we can anonymously recruit but all roles are gender neutral and selection is undertaken solely on skill-set and qualifications. 
  • By introducing the management framework any discrepancies in pay have been aligned and future training, promotions and recruitment fit into the framework.
  • Since the data for the report was collated there have been three female members of staff appointed on the Executive Team.
