NUFC to become Living Wage Employer
Newcastle United has submitted an application to the Living Wage Foundation to become a Living Wage Employer.
The scheme calculates ‘real Living Wage’ costs, which employers can voluntary choose to pay staff rather than sticking to the government minimum.
NUFC’s application means employees will receive a hourly rate of £9.90, retroactive from 1 February 2022, which is above the National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage.
The club announced they are “fully committed” to supporting their staff.
Newcastle United co-owner Amanda Staveley said: “This is an important part of our people strategy as we work together to deliver our new vision.”
In a statement released, the club said: “We recognise that our people, including staff – the majority of whom live in our local community – and our fans, are at the heart of everything we do.
“We appreciate the contribution of all employees and acknowledge that the everyday operations of the club, including matchdays, could not happen without their hard work and dedication.
“Newcastle United is fully committed to supporting them, including through wages that reflect their value and meet the everyday needs of individuals and their families – not just the government minimum.”
The Club expressed gratitude to Tony and his assistant Mark Venus for their positive contributions over the past two seasons, stating that they will always be welcome back at the Stadium of Light and wishing them success in their future endeavors.
Sporting Director Kristjaan Speakman praised Tony’s impact, acknowledging his high regard among players, staff, and supporters. Speakman highlighted Mowbray’s role in guiding the team to the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs and his significant contribution to team development. He emphasized that while a difficult decision, it aligns with the club’s ambition and strategy.
Emphasizing the commitment to their long-term strategy for sustainability and success, Chairman Kyril Louis-Dreyfus thanked Tony for his hard work and affirmed the club’s focus on implementing a high-performance culture and a strong playing identity.
The club reiterated the importance of fan support in their progress and invited supporters to the Stadium of Light during the festive period and into 2024.
During the interim period, Mike Dodds, supported by the existing coaching team, will oversee the first-team’s training and match preparations until the appointment of a new Head Coach is finalized.
