Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them. They are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.

Market view. Pay tracks the National Living Wage across most of the sector, with senior carers, nights and complex care at the top of the band and registered managers above it (£35,000–£50,000). Scotland's Adult Social Care minimum (£12.60) and London weighting set the regional differences; mileage is paid in domiciliary work.
