Wave Staffing

Embedding the Oxford Living Wage from day one 

Wave Staffing has been an Oxford Living Wage employer since the very beginning. When the independent events staffing agency launched in 2010, founders knew paying the Oxford Living Wage would be key to attracting and retaining the best staff. 

“Oxford is an expensive place to live and we saw the Oxford Living Wage as a key motivator for employment. It’s always been part of our business model.” 

Wave Staffing builds its pay structure around the Oxford Living Wage, with four levels of pay calculated each year. For staff, the commitment is clear, and for clients, it reinforces the company’s reputation as a trusted, responsible partner. 

“Our clients perceive us as a good partner because we are an Oxford Living Wage employer and we treat our staff well. That translates into the delivery of a great service.” 

From staff interviews to client reviews, Wave Staffing has found that being an Oxford Living Wage employer strengthens their reputation across Oxford’s hospitality and events ecosystem.
