As Living Wage Week shines a spotlight on fair pay across the UK, Borders College is proud to reaffirm its commitment as an accredited Living Wage Employer.
Being a Living Wage Employer means that Borders College goes beyond the statutory minimum wage, ensuring employees receive a wage that reflects the real cost of living. This commitment demonstrates the College’s dedication to staff wellbeing, recognising the value of every role and creating a positive, inclusive workplace culture.
At Borders College, people are at the heart of everything we do. By paying the Living Wage, the College helps provide greater financial security for employees while contributing to a stronger, more sustainable local economy across the Scottish Borders.
Living Wage Week is an opportunity to celebrate employers making a difference through fair pay practices. Borders College is proud to stand alongside other accredited organisations committed to helping workers and their families thrive.
Director of People Services at Borders College, Debbie Kerr, said:
“Our people are our greatest asset, and paying the real Living Wage reflects our commitment to recognising their contribution, supporting their wellbeing and creating a workplace where everyone feels valued.”
As an institution that supports learning, skills development and community growth, the College recognises that investing in its people is key to delivering the high-quality education and services that students and communities deserve.
This Living Wage Week, Borders College celebrates its continued commitment to fair pay and the positive impact it has on its workforce, learners and the wider community.
