Do you have what it takes to work in the heart of your local community and help change local care provision for the better? Then this franchise is for you! Hub Care Support is seeking community-spirited pioneers to become part of its network of business owners, and help transform the way people access the kind of care which can really make a difference.

Hub Care Support is not like any other kind of care franchise

For an initial total investment of around £35,000, including VAT, you can be a part of something which is utterly unique.

Hub Care Support is NOT a care agency. Service users aren’t our customers, carers are.

Hub Care Support is NOT a care home business. You won’t need any expensive premises, just a home office.

Hub Care Support is NOT a management franchise where you need a huge team of people from the start. You’ll be working directly with your local community.

Hub Care Support IS a revolutionary new care support model that can empower you to run a business that is both ethical and rewarding.

How can you transform the industry as part of the Hub Care Support franchise?

Hub Care Support does not employ carers. Instead, we provide a service to independent carers known as Personal Assistants (PAs). We help them to not only earn the hourly rate they deserve and have control over their working life, but also to give them the support they need to deliver the care they know their service users need.

Instead of drawing from a bank of care staff which is always changing, Hub Care Support carefully listens to, and understands the needs of service users, and provides them with a range of suitable profiles of PAs from The Hub community to choose from. It is the PAs themselves who can then provide a wide range of services tailored to suit the individual needs of their clients, from personal and domestic care, and help in getting to appointments, through to social support and companionship.

Most importantly, however, service users always see the same person, giving them greater stability, consistency and trust in the care they receive, and allowing them to build meaningful relationships with their PAs. The kind of personal contact that has been shown time and again to be essential to both physical and mental health.

Thanks to our unique model, Hub Care Support does not suffer from the same high staff turnover or recruitment problems that other care businesses do. Carers want to work with us and become independent PAs!

The care sector in the UK is in crisis, and is failing those most in need, but it doesn’t have to be that way. With your help and support, your PAs can help change it for the better.

Business Mind – Community Heart

As a business model which is turning the way people think about care on its head, we are looking for partners who can embrace the same ethos and mission as we do. Hub Care Support needs dedicated and pioneering people who are deeply passionate about helping PAs provide quality care while also building their own independent and rewarding future.

We greatly welcome anyone who has a background in care, or in a related industry, but this franchise opportunity is all about supporting and empowering others to provide care, so you do not need experience in the industry to succeed with our business model.

However, we are looking only for partners who:

Are genuinely interested in the welfare of their local community
Are willing to go out into their local communities to promote their service
Are confident in meeting people face-to-face and forging key relationships
Understand how efficient systems can help them deliver a better service
Have good organisational skills and are willing to learn and follow our model
Have the ambition and dedication necessary to build their own successful business
Are caring, compassionate and want to make a real difference

Investment Overview

Happy 1st Birthday Hub Care Support West Herts!

October 07, 2023

Amy and Adam have a special place in our hearts here at the Hub Care Support franchise, not only because they were the first of our partners to join us, but also because Amy started out working for us as a Personal Assistant (PA) and Ops Manager. Her experiences with Hub Care Support led her to purchase her own territory and launch her own care business – a dream she had held for many years.

Now, after one year in business, the husband and wife team are doing fantastically well. Starting your own business is always hard work, and more than a little scary, even with our support. However, we are very happy to say that Amy and Adam have hit all their projected targets despite having to cope with a very turbulent year in the economy. We caught up with them again recently to see how they feel it is all going.

“Really, it’s going even better than we expected. “Amy told us. “I am always busy. It feels like the work has really snowballed and we’re getting at least one new referral a day now as our contacts grow, and our record was 5 in one day! I’m loving getting out and building relationships with charities and other people in the local community, and that’s been hugely positive for the business.”

While Hub Care does a great deal to support its franchisees, including a comprehensive marketing programme, we do also emphasis how important it is for our partners to get out there and forge their own links. Building trust is absolutely essential in the care industry, not just with service users and their families, but also with PAs and key figures in the community. With her natural people skills, Amy has absolutely nailed it.

“Some of the greatest moments over the last year have been when you hear people have given recommendations about you, and a lot of people start saying they have already heard of you when you contact them for the first time. It makes me think: Wow! We’ve come from not being known at all to a business that people are talking about all across the area. It is so satisfying, and I am very happy to say that we are much better off financially than before, too!”

Of course, one of the biggest challenges facing any care business is finding quality carers. We’ve all read about how many care homes and agencies are in crisis due to a lack of staff but, thanks to the unique and pioneering way Hub Care Support works with independent carers, this is simply not a problem for our franchisees. In fact, experienced carers are flocking to us in droves to become PAs!

“It’s such an attractive business model for PAs, and the benefits of working with us are so clear, it really doesn’t take long at all to recruit the people we need to meet new demand as it comes in. “Adam told us. “Actually, we’ve even had to turn a few people away as we’re still building the capacity we need to take them on!”

Amy agrees: “PAs are really pleased to be working with us in this new way. They were miserable in agencies, miserable working in care homes, like I was, and then they come to Hub and say: ‘Why I have I never heard about this before? This is the best thing ever, thank you so much!’ It really means the world to me that we are making people’s lives better. Not just the service users, but our PAs, too.”

Over the next year, Adam hopes to work in the business a lot more in order to support Amy, who tells us her biggest weakness is “always trying to make people happy.” Not necessarily a bad weakness to have, but Amy plans to improve her work-life balance over the next year now that she is confident of how well she can work as a Hub Care Support business owner. The couple are already thinking ahead to how the next 3,4,5 years and beyond will shape up for them, and even talked about how they might take on another territory in the future. With how well they are both doing so far, we are certain they can achieve anything they put their minds to!

We can’t believe it has really been one year already. It seems like only yesterday that we were welcoming Amy and Adam with open arms but, at the same time, it feels like they have always been with us. They fitted into Hub Care Support’s business model and ethos quickly and seamlessly, and now they’re just part of the family!
