Real Living Wage

Ensuring Greater Manchester’s residents earn a wage that meets everyday needs, like the weekly shop or an unexpected dentist visit, is really important to us. That’s why we only advertise jobs on the Hub that pay the Living Wage or higher. Use our Real Living Wage Calculator to check if your vacancy pays a salary which meets the Living Wage.

Update on Real Living Wage Job Approvals

We know that the recent increases to the Real Living Wage have placed significant pressure on VCSE organisations. Findings from the VCSE Workforce Development Programme Pay & Conditions Survey show just how difficult it has been for many organisations to absorb these changes while continuing to deliver vital services. Rising costs, static funding, and short-term contracts have created a perfect storm for the sector.

Despite these challenges, the Real Living Wage remains essential for fairness and equity. It ensures that the people who support our communities are paid a wage that reflects the true cost of living.

To give organisations time to adjust, we will continue to approve job postings that match the previous Real Living Wage rate of £12.60 per hour until 30 April 2025. After this date, all new job postings will need to reflect the updated Real Living Wage amount (£13.45).

We also want to acknowledge the important work of the Commissioning and Investment Group, which is advocating on behalf of the sector to ensure commissioners build appropriate uplift terms into contracts and allow for wage increases. This work is critical to making sure organisations can pay fairly without compromising the services people rely on.

Jobs appear on the GM Recruitment Hub

Once the job post has been approved, it will appear on the GM Recruitment Hub and the websites of the GM local infrastructure organisations you selected, if it meets their terms. The first day your job is live on the GM Recruitment Hub, it will appear towards the top of the relevant search results. As time goes on, your job will fall back in search results. Jobs will be removed from the websites the day after the closing date. If you wish, you can make changes to your job posting, including an extension to the deadline, anytime before the closing date by logging into your account.a

People search for jobs on the GM Recruitment Hub

Job seekers will be able to enter key words to search for a job and will be able to filter results to refine the list of jobs that appear. Remember to include relevant key words in your job description that job seekers use. This will increase the likelihood of jobs appearing in searches.

Job seekers click the link to apply

If someone is interested in applying for your job vacancy, they will be able to click the link you provided in the form. This will divert applicants directly to the website where they can apply. If you can’t receive applications online, you can provide a job pack instead which applicants can download and follow the relevant steps to apply.
