Marlowe Child & Family Services endeavour to reward their staff fully for their skills, dedication and hard work. We try to offer a competitive remuneration package along with good leave arrangements and family-friendly benefits and policies.

Basic salary for a Therapeutic Care Worker is between £13,500 and £17,000 per annum. In addition, most full-time staff would expect to earn anything up to an additional £3,000 per year in sleep-in allowance (paid at £44 per night as of October 2007). There are also enhanced hourly rates for working unsocial hours (weekends, bank holidays etc.). The standard rate for overtime is ‘time and half’ for all hours worked over and above 39 hours per week.

Staff who have completed their Probationary Period receive all or part of their salaries in sick pay for extended periods (based on a sliding scale). There is also a Group Contributory Staff Pension Scheme (currently at 3% p.a.).

A Child Care Allowance is given to staff with young children to assist with nursery or child minders fees. 50% of all fees for the first child, 35% for the second and 20% for the third is paid out.

Salaries and Benefits are reviewed annually in negotiation with Union Representatives.
