A change in career is a huge decision and one of the most significant changes a person can make. Whatever the reason, whether you’re looking for a change, more job satisfaction, more financial independence or work-life balance, many people consider moving into a new industry.

If you’re interested in becoming a part of a franchise, you may have noticed that home care offers a range of attractive business opportunities. With the population ageing and an increase in demand for care services, there is ample opportunity as well as a necessity for well-organised, professional home care services in the UK.

If you’re looking for a new business opportunity, joining a franchise might be the right option for you. Not only does it provide a platform for financial growth from an existing, established brand, but it gives you the chance to be your own boss. But, aside from the above, just what other benefits of a franchise model are there – specifically, from the perspective of a franchisee? Fortunately, our founder and managing director, Phil Eckersley, is here to tell all about what you can gain from becoming a franchisee. He might be a home care franchise owner now, but prior to this, he spent three years as a franchisee, so he himself knows what there is to benefit from.

Last month, our Managing Director, Phil Eckersley, joined a selection of respected care leaders from across the country at the Laing Buisson Social Care Summit North to chat all about the future of the operating environment for care providers, looking ahead to the next 12 months in home care franchises and what may be in store for the industry.

Domiciliary care is expanding at a record pace, driven by demographic change and growing demand for people to receive support in their own homes. Yet, the very services that make independence possible for older and vulnerable people are facing the toughest conditions we’ve seen in decades. For those of us who have dedicated our careers to building sustainable, person-centred homecare businesses, this year’s report is both a wake-up call and a moment of opportunity.

Discover the launch of our new and refreshed website, which is a dedicated hub designed to better serve clients, their families, care specialists and franchise partners, while showcasing our ongoing innovation and commitment to quality care. Explore how our platform supports growth and highlights rewarding franchise opportunities in the UK care sector.
