1 min read Youth Work
Youth workers will get a two per cent pay rise this year and again in 2019 after union members agreed a two-year deal.

The National Education Union, the University and College Union, Unison and Unite, which jointly negotiate on behalf of more than 10,000 youth and community workers across England & Wales confirmed details of the agreement following consultation with members, with all voting in favour of the deal.

Unite said its members voted overwhelmingly in favour of the two-year JNC (Joint Negotiating Committee) "pink book" pay deal with a 90 per cent majority. The deal will come into effect immediately.

Under the terms of the agreement, the lowest paid workers on pay bands seven and below will receive in excess of two per cent over the two years.
