s your career heading up a dead end? Is it time to look for a new opportunity and change direction? Don’t get stuck in a rut; why not consider a homecare franchise? Considering you spend around 47 years of your life at work, being happy with your job and feeling fulfi lled from how you earn your living is important. Gone are the days of ‘one job for life’. Now the average worker will often go through around six diff erent companies during their working life and not always remain in the same professional fi eld. As the years go by, people usually have
a clearer idea of what makes them happy. Sometimes the career chosen for stability and security just doesn’t appeal anymore. Or maybe the long-held dream of owning one’s own business becomes more urgent. Whatever the reason, if you feel that need to explore something diff erent, then it’s probably time you jumped ship. David Glover, franchise recruitment manager, explains: “Running your own business is exciting and, for some, the fulfi lment of long-held dreams, sometimes in an industry far removed from their initial career path.”
Franchisee Janis Anderson, who has
received awards from the British Franchise Association, owns a substantial business in Buckinghamshire. She says: “The care sector attracted my attention because it was clearly a growth industry and was providing a service that I knew I could feel passionate about.” Previous experience in care is not
a prerequisite for owning a Caremark homecare franchise; if your career path has been in catering or medicine, for example, you could still look forward to building a fi nancially and personally rewarding business in the network.
Neither is age a barrier to owning
a Caremark franchise. The youngest Caremark franchisee is 25 years old and is already on her way to building a solid business, with the more mature 50-something business owners running very successful franchises. What Caremark does look for in potential franchisees is passion, drive, ambition and an ability to grow, manage and lead a team
of people who will work with you to build the business of your dreams. Management experience is therefore important, as is being comfortable communicating with all sorts of people. Networking and forging relationships is a key part of growing and developing your business, together with inspiring your team to be the best they can be. With Caremark’s comprehensive training and support, franchisees are given business development guidance from day one from the team at head offi ce and then from its fi eld-based skilled professionals, giving them the best start to their business. Business development guidance is ongoing, enabling each franchisee to grow and remain compliant. Caremark’s franchisees love what they do. Although they are all diff erent people they hold one thing in common: a passion for care. For them, delivering a high-quality service to their clients is as important as building a successful enterprise. It goes without saying, though, that franchisees must have plenty of ambition and enthusiasm to grow and drive their own business.

Charnwood, Gedling and Rushcliff e, says: “It’s important to look at what you want to get out of the business and how much time and eff ort you want to put into the new venture. Just because it’s a franchise does not mean that your business will be handed to you on a plate.” Despite challenges in the sector,
Caremark’s network of franchisees continues to expand, with the brand now represented in over 100 offi ces across the UK.
So before you delay your dreams of owning your own business by yet another year, why not take a look at the care sector? With the population continuing to live longer and the demand for personalised, quality care at home increasing, there was never a better time to investigate the Caremark franchise opportunity.
