As we celebrate Living Wage Week, we at Teachers Together are proud to reaffirm our commitment to fair compensation and support for our dedicated members. This week is a time to recognise the importance of paying a wage that truly reflects the cost of living, ensuring that all employees can meet their everyday needs.
What is the Real Living Wage?
The Real Living Wage is a voluntary wage rate that goes beyond the government-mandated minimum wage. It is independently calculated each year based on the actual cost of living, covering essentials like housing, food, and transportation. By paying the Real Living Wage, employers demonstrate their commitment to providing fair compensation that supports the well-being of their employees.
Why the Real Living Wage Matters
At Teachers Together, we believe that every educator deserves to be valued and respected. Our uniquely collaborative approach to supply education is focused on transparency, fairness, and personalised support. By committing to the real Living Wage, we ensure that our members receive fair compensation for their valuable skills and contributions.
Our TRUE Ethos
Our commitment to the Real Living Wage is part of our broader TRUE ethos, which stands for Transparency, Relationships, Understanding, and Excellence. These principles guide every interaction we have, ensuring a positive and collaborative experience for all.
Transparency: We maintain clear communication about changes, pricing, and policies, promoting a sense of openness and honesty.
Relationships: We view recruitment as more than a transaction, building inclusive and collaborative relationships among our team, partners, and members.
Understanding: We understand the unique needs of our partners and members, ensuring precise matchmaking and personalised support.
Excellence: We are dedicated to delivering top-notch service through regular communication, helpful feedback, ongoing support, and continuous improvement.
