Achieving a 5-Star rating places Home Instead Lewes District and Uckfield among the highest-rated care employers in the UK.

This prestigious recognition is based entirely on confidential feedback from our Care Professionals, who support older people across Lewes District, Uckfield, and the surrounding communities. The award celebrates organisations that genuinely listen to their teams and foster positive, supportive workplace cultures. 

What our Care Professionals say:

Workbuzz is an independent employee engagement and research organisation that conducted research on Home Instead’s behalf. The survey revealed overwhelmingly positive feedback, with Care Professionals highlighting:

  • A supportive and approachable leadership team
  • Strong values that put people first
  • High-quality training, even for those new to care
  • The chance to build meaningful, long-term relationships with clients

Many shared that they feel valued, listened to, and proud of the care they provide within their own community.

Some results from our survey:

  • 100% of Care Professionals said they are proud to work for Home Instead
  • 96% said they are well matched to their clients
  • 100% would recommend Home Instead as a great place to work
  • 100% said they are treated fairly regardless of race, gender, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or other differences

Alison, Owner and Director of Home Instead Lewes District and Uckfield, said:

“We’re absolutely thrilled to receive this 5-Star recognition, but what makes it truly special is that it comes directly from our Care Professionals themselves. Their feedback shows that when you create a culture where people feel genuinely valued and supported, it transforms not just their working lives, but the quality of care our clients receive. We’re incredibly proud of our team and grateful they’ve chosen to build their careers with us, making a real difference in our local community every single day.”

Care Professional Steve shared his experience:

“I’ve never felt more appreciated in a job. The training prepared me brilliantly, even though I had no care experience before, and the team genuinely cares about how I’m doing. What I love most is the time I get to spend with my clients – we’re not rushing through visits. I’m building real friendships and making a difference to people’s lives right here in my own community. It’s the most rewarding work I’ve ever done.”
