Successful negotiations between Unite and YAS mean around 30 patient liaison assistants working in patient transport services will move up a pay band from Band 2 to Band 3.
As a result, the workers will see their pay uplifted by £456 a year, with a further uplift of £1,603 once they reach the top of Band 3.
Unite general secretary, Sharon Graham, said: ‘As this result shows, Unite's relentless focus on improving jobs, pay and conditions is putting money in our members' pockets.'
The Government is to lay legislation that confirms a new National Living Wage of £12.21 and a new National Minimum Wage of £10.00 per hour from April.
The Government has been urged to plan efficient maintenance programmes for public services, as a new report revealed an NHS backlog of over £10bn.
Nurses, doctors and surgeons are among dozens of NHS staff on the 2025 New Year Honour list.
