Pathways to Progress
Enhancing fair work in Scotland's social care sector
Pathways to Progress is a three-year project funded by the Robertson Trust, focused on improving jobs in Scotland’s social care sector. The project is delivered by Living Wage Scotland at the Poverty Alliance
Our aim is to enhance fair work in social care, with better pay, more job security and improved working conditions. We want to help reduce in-work poverty and support employers to meet Fair Work standards, including exploring what it takes to offer Living Hours - not just better pay, but more predictable and secure working hours.
Want to get involved or find out more?
We’re working closely with two large, non-profit care providers to understand what changes can be made across their organisations to support Fair Work.
Alongside this, we’ll be carrying out eight in-depth case studies with smaller care organisations from both the voluntary and private sectors. This, along with direct engagement with frontline workers, will help us gather insight about different approaches and experiences across the sector.
Throughout the project, we’ll share what we learn through real-world case studies, peer learning events, and practical resources for employers.
