Gender and ethnicity pay gap
Gender pay gap
-
The median hourly pay was 5% lower for female staff compared to male staff in 2024. This is a larger gap than in 2023, when it was 3%.
Ethnicity pay gap
-
In 2024, the median hourly pay was 5% lower for staff from racialised communities compared to white staff. This is an improvement on 2023 when this gap was 11%.
Approach
In line with many other organisations who report on their pay gap, we use the median figure to represent our overall pay gap. This is because the median is generally thought to be closest to the experience of the typical staff member.
The data we share shows a snapshot as of September 2024, based on the self-identification of staff of their gender and ethnicity. We do not include the data of any staff who did not share this information. To protect the anonymity of staff, we also do not share data that could directly identify any individuals. For this reason, we only share responses where four or more individuals answered.
As an organisation of our size is not legally required to report on our pay gap, there are some limitations to using the statutory guidance on pay gap reporting.
With our smaller sample sizes, there is the potential for small personnel changes to have considerable impact on the overall pay gap we report, so data should be considered with that in mind.
A few definitions
Analysis
Analysis of our pay quartiles, in the full report, indicates that these pay gaps reflect an uneven distribution of staff by gender and ethnicity across pay quartiles.
For example, while we have significantly fewer men than women in our organisation, they are proportionally more likely to be in the upper pay quartiles. White staff similarly are more likely to be in the upper pay quartiles.
