Franchising with us

Bluebird Care is the fastest growing care franchise in the UK with experience in franchising and care provision you will not find elsewhere.

Concept

Bluebird Care is a management franchise, recruiting and managing caring and competent staff to deliver the highest standards of care at home. Franchise owners come from a variety of backgrounds – experience in the care sector is not necessary. What it requires is a determination and a strong desire to develop a successful business by working to a proven business format. Bluebird Care has created a process of selection of franchise owners not of franchise ‘sales’ and strives hard for an ethos of business partnership with our franchise owners.

The Market

We provide care not only to older people but also to people with learning disabilities, physical disabilities and to children and their families. Care can range from visits once, twice or more daily right through to live-in care.

Bluebird Care has revolutionised the way care is delivered by concentrating on high quality customer service, whilst at the same time upholding the very best in professional care provision. With offices across the UK, Bluebird Care is fast becoming the nation’s foremost provider of care at home.

We operate in a market currently estimated at over £20billion per annum. As more and more people are encouraged by Government to be cared for in their own homes instead of moving into residential care, the market size can only increase.

Bluebird Care’s own business has been in operation since 2004. The exceptional results of this business led to the development of the Bluebird Care Franchise, using the proven business systems operated so successfully. This ‘pilot’ business also proved the size of the opportunity in providing care across a wide range of customer groups. Our growing franchise network continue to demonstrate a real viability and rapid return on investment in this fast developing market.

• The UK market for care at home is anticipated to increase year on year between 2011 and 2015, culminating in overall real term growth of 20% (MBD Report).
• The market is expected to benefit from the demographic trend towards an ageing population and the social trend towards older people wishing to remain in their own home.  The focus is also on empowering those with learning or physical disabilities to lead a full life through supported living.
• The positive market development is a partial reflection of Government initiatives to promote independent living, with emphasis on reducing demand for residential care through the provision of improved care at home services.  The three directors of the Company, Paul & Lisa Tarsey and Simon Dalziel have many years of experience in both the care sector and franchising. They have also put together a hugely effective head office franchise support team.

The Experience

This in turn has lead to the enormous success the brand has achieved. Bluebird Care is now seen as a major provider of high quality care throughout the UK and beyond, and continues to grow this reputation.

This proven track record enables them to offer an unbeatable business and support package for their franchise owners.

The British Franchise Association (BFA)

The British Franchise Association is pleased to welcome Bluebird Care into Full Membership. Our quality standards for reaching this level are set high, deliberately, and to reach this demanding level a franchisor company has to demonstrate to us that they are worthy of this level of membership. I look forward to them playing an active role in the franchising community, as well as in their own area of commercial operations, for many years to come.
