Who Are Caremark:
There has never been a better time to invest in a Caremark franchise; our franchisees have been experiencing record growth due to the growing in-home care market, resilient business model, and unrivalled training and support, even during the economic upheaval of Brexit and throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
Caremark is proud to be a wholly UK-owned and operated home care franchise which has an established and successful UK-based network.
Our proven home care business formula works because it provides people with the option to receive excellent care at home in a form tailored to the needs of the individual. Specialised home care from qualified and experienced carers also helps alleviate pressure on limited NHS resources.
Most importantly, your clients will benefit from being looked after in the comfort and security of their own homes. The care and support they receive can help them to enjoy a fuller, happier life.
Caremark is a management franchise with franchise owners recruiting their Care & Support staff to deliver our award-winning care and support to clients living in their own homes.
Caremark offers an exciting business opportunity to run a successful operation whilst fulfilling a social need to a high standard.
With a network of 120 offices in Britain and beyond, Caremark continues to look for talented individuals to complete its network. Many territories are remaining across the country and a small number of UK franchise re-sales available.
The Caremark brand continues to expand and there are now offices in Ireland, Malta and Kerala, Southern India.
Caremark Training & Support
New franchisees are not required to have a background in care as they receive expert training through a 2-week in-house course covering all aspects of the care sector, legislation, and the Caremark model, as well as the all-important business management training.
Support and on-going business development guidance are provided to franchisees, both before and after business set-up from a dedicated Regional Support network and in-house specialist support from a highly experienced Head Office Team.
The Ideal Caremark Franchisee
Our franchisees come from a variety of backgrounds, some with extensive business experience and others with none at all. Whatever your level of knowledge, we will work in partnership to give you the skills you require.
A Caremark franchisee has:
- A caring attitude towards others along with ambition, commitment and empathy.
- Ambition and determination to succeed
- Entrepreneurial spirit and vision
- A willingness to take responsibility for others as well as yourself
- The commitment to set and maintain high standards
- An interest in working with people in need
- A genuine passion to be involved in the care industry
- Excellent communication skills
No business experience or particular abilities are necessary to take advantage of our franchise opportunity, apart from general management skills and a good standard of education.
