About Barchester Healthcare
Founded in 1992, Barchester started with just one care home. Today, we're proud to have over 260 care homes and six independent hospitals across England, Scotland and Wales that continually meet and exceed all relevant regulatory compliance standards. We deliver exceptional levels of care to over 13,000 residents and patients and we employ over 19,000 dedicated people across the entire organisation. We have continued to remain at the forefront of the UK’s private healthcare sector by providing award-winning care and investing in our employees through training, continuous development and sector-leading rewards packages. We are also proud to be an Above National Living Wage Employer. With an extensive new build growth plan in place, we’re on track to opening 10 new care homes each year, for the next five years. But we can’t continue to thrive without the right people. We promote equal opportunities to our prospective and existing employees and display the Disability Confident logo with pride. We are also the only healthcare provider to be accredited as one of the best companies to work for in the UK by the Best Companies b-Heard Survey. With an array of awards and achievements under our belt, we know that we wouldn’t be where we are today without our people. Our residents, patients and their loved ones rely on us to deliver outstanding person-centred care and support, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In fact, every single role across our homes, hospitals and support functions is pivotal in shaping the future of our organisation.
