Where these figures come from
Every figure on this page is computed from the contracts live on the ContractorUK jobs board with Support Worker in the job title, advertised at a day or weekly rate. The median and quartiles use the advertised rate of each listing, midpoint where a range is given; weekly rates are divided to a day equivalent, and hourly or salaried listings are excluded rather than converted. Advertised rates are asking prices rather than settled contracts, so treat them as a guide.
The hourly figure is the median of the Support Worker adverts advertised by the hour, on the base rate where an advertised range reaches an overtime rate. It is never converted to a day rate, and the day figures never include hourly adverts.
