Gender Pay Gap Report 2025 for April 2024

At Robert Gordon’s College, we are committed to fostering a workplace where everyone is valued, included, and recognised fairly for their contributions. Employment opportunities are open to all, and recruitment and promotion to positions within the College are on the basis of merit alone. Recruitment is carried out in a transparent and fair way, and adheres to best practice standards within the sector. Robert Gordon’s College does not award bonuses to staff or others associated with the College.

The infographic shows the overall mean and median gender pay gap based on hourly rates of pay as at the snapshot date 5 April 2024. It also sets out the gender pay distribution at Robert Gordon’s College by analysing the workforce pay rates into quartiles. As of the snapshot date, a total of 225 female staff and 98 male staff were considered to be “relevant employees”.

Robert Gordon’s College remains confident that women and men are paid equally for doing equivalent jobs across the College. Our gender pay gap is almost neutral in terms of women being paid on average (mean figures) very slightly more than men. We employ more women than men across the College, including a higher proportion of female teaching staff, which  naturally influences the difference in favour of women in the middle of the pay range (median figures). 

We are committed to further strengthening the College as a place where everyone - regardless of gender - can develop their careers, be fairly rewarded, and feel a strong sense of belonging. In addition, we will be maintaining oversight and clear governance on pay awards for senior staff.

I confirm that the data reported is accurate.

Head of College
