Bluebird Care

The UK’s Fastest Growing Care Franchise in a huge and growing market...

With government initiatives backing the care at home sector, award-winning Bluebird Care is well positioned to continue its rapid national franchise expansion.

Bluebird Care is the UK’s most experienced care franchisor drawing on over 40 years care and franchising experience. We work closely with our franchisees to build their own business in a market worth some £20 billion annually.

Operating in the recession – resilient sector of care at home, Bluebird Care’s proven business systems and procedures ensure not only top quality care provision but also a viable, profitable business format.

Bluebird Care franchisees come from a wide variety of backgrounds – care experience is not required. Our training and support systems will provide our franchisees with the care business knowledge they need and our proven business format provides the correct staffing structure.

The Bluebird Care franchise network is now in England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland and is expanding rapidly.

“We are very successful because we are very good at what we do – franchising at it’s very best!”

Bluebird Care’s Exciting Joint Initiative With Boots!

Bluebird Care, has great pleasure in announcing an exciting new working relationship with Boots UK.

As a major provider of care at home Bluebird Care was approached by Boots to see how the Companies could work together for mutual benefit, in the huge and growing market of care at home. This led to discussions of different ways of working together and now we are in a position to announce our joint initiative.

Franchisees have the benefit of joint marketing with their local Boots pharmacies, together with staff training opportunities within Boots Training courses.

“This is fantastic news for our franchisees” said Franchise Director Simon Dalziel “and shows to potential franchisees that we are a serious player in the care at home market being able to work alongside such a major care brand”.

Chris Glass, Boots Development Manager for Domiciliary Care said ”We are delighted to be working with Bluebird Care, who we see as a major provider of quality care in the UK and Ireland”

Benefit from our experience

Paul Tarsey (Managing Director) and Simon Dalziel (Franchise Director), have many years of experience in both the care and franchising sectors.

Previous experience in the care sector is not necessary – most of our franchisees have not worked in care before. We seek people who have a passion for starting their own care business, have the necessary management experience and who have an empathy with providing high quality care.

Franchise Recruitment Team of the Year

In recognition of Bluebird Care’s exceptional franchise recruitment record, the Company was awarded the prestigious ‘Franchise Recruitment Team of the Year’. The award, principally sponsored by Lloyds TSB Bank and the Daily Mail, was for 'an outstanding team that has significantly increased the number of quality franchisees recruited and secured sustainable growth.'

We recognise that it is important to choose a business partner carefully – franchising has to be right for both parties and with the experience we have, we offer our franchisees every opportunity of success and the rewards of running their own business.

The Future
