Pay & Reward Framework
We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment
to Barnardo's values. We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for
more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people.
For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and
progressive, which was rolled out 1st April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a key pillar of
our People & Culture Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to grow and develop in their
career at Barnardo's as it will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues to progress through the pay
band of their role.
Whilst the full pay band and salary range is advertised, our approach to starting salaries is to appoint between the
minimum to mid-point of the pay band – this ensures that pay progression steps are available to reward our
colleagues annually based on their contribution to excellence and alignment to our values and behaviours. More
details on Barnardo's pay framework can be found upon application.
