Home Instead is Officially One of the UK’s Best Places to Work

Best Employer 2026 Homeinstead

We have always believed that to provide the best care for our clients, we must first be the best place to work for our team. Today, we’re delighted to share some fantastic news with you. This commitment has been recognised on a national stage, with Home Instead named to the Financial Times’ Best Employers 2026 list.

Leading the Way in Healthcare & Social Care

Although this is a national recognition, it is driven by the dedication of our local teams. The ranking is based on insights from 20,000 employees, reflecting their responses to a range of statements about their employer, including workplace environment, compensation, reputation, and opportunities for growth.

We are proud to be ranked 28th overall among the top 500 major UK businesses, and to place within the top five in the Healthcare & Social Care sector nationwide. Healthcare and Social Care had the highest number of companies represented across all sectors, making the competition particularly fierce. Being positioned in the top 10% of companies in our sector, alongside some of the UK’s most established and well-known organisations, makes this achievement even more meaningful.

This milestone reflects the culture we have built together, one rooted in respect, purpose, and pride.
