From Registered Manager to GoodOaks Franchise Partner

Join a strong, trailblazing brand in a £50bn sector, led by a management team who share a solid background in building care businesses.

Founded in 2011 by two care professionals, GoodOaks provides high quality visiting and live-in care to people in their own homes.

A well-resourced operation, committed to quality, innovation and working in partnership with our franchise partners. We enable our partners to start a profitable, sustainable and quality care business.

Why GoodOaks, Why Homecare?

Our business delivers quality care that enables people to be independent, safe and happy in their own homes. Unlike many franchises, because we directly run our own thriving GoodOaks office, we can innovate, test and implement improvements before rolling them out across our network.

This means less distractions and disruption for our franchise partners, so they can concentrate on growing and developing their business.

There is no Venture Capital here, we’re in it for the long haul. We are UK-owned and independent, without the overheads of a multinational corporation, meaning our franchise partners retain a greater portion of their hard earned cash.

The homecare market is constantly growing and is estimated to be worth over £8 billion per year. There’s never been a better time to start a homecare franchise, and we’ll support you every step of the way.

The more work you put in, the more profitable your business will be. Our model is based on a gross margin of 40%, and a net profitability of 15% once established. (Some franchise partners achieve much higher than this!)

The GoodOaks Way:

PEOPLE: We are our people. Our people share our values and form our culture. Our values are; Professionalism, Respect, Integrity, Dedication and Empathy. These are recognised in every person within the franchise network; from our Franchisors to the people walking through our client’s front doors every day. We recruit and reward our people based on their match with our PRIDE Values.

PARTNERSHIP: We believe in the power of partnership. From how we collaborate with our franchise partners, to how our care coordinators work with clients and their families, our partnership-led care approach empowers caring people to provide exceptional care.

PLANET: The homecare sector doesn’t like talking about its’ climate impact. Combining our data and national analysis, the homecare sector emits 484,000 of tonnes of CO2 every year.

We are the only Carbon Neutral homecare provider in the UK and year on year, we strive to be better.

From Registered Manager to GoodOaks Franchise Partner

May 17, 2024

Sam Jones, Co-Owner of GoodOaks - East Dorset and GoodOaks - Salisbury, started his career in care as a childcare apprentice aged 16.

Over the years he has gained experience in a wide range of areas within health and social care from working with young adults, people with mental disabilities and working within the ambulance services.

“Working in health and social care is a very tough but highly rewarding sector. We constantly make a difference to clients and their loved ones' lives.”

Sam first joined GoodOaks - Bournemouth and Poole as a care professional and was promoted to Deputy Manager to run the visiting care side of the business. During his time with GoodOaks Sam witnessed franchise partners from different backgrounds joining the network and saw how with the training and support from the head office team new branches were able to grow quickly and sustainably even with no previous experience in the sector.

He recognised that with his care experience and the head office team to help fill the gaps in the other areas of running a business such as marketing, technical support and business planning, that he would be able to run a branch himself.

“One of the biggest expenses within the first year is hiring an experienced Registered Manager, knowing that I could successfully take on this role myself I felt I was one step ahead of the game already!”

Sam and Adam had previously worked together within the sector and knew that they would work well as business partners, and in April 2020 they opened their first branch GoodOaks - East Dorset. After a successful couple of years of operation and growing rapidly despite the pandemic the team expanded and opened GoodOaks - Salisbury and Amesbury in February 2022.

From starting work in the sector as a care professional and now running two successful branches, they really go to show how with the experience, dedication and support from the head office team you can quickly succeed with GoodOaks.

“I feel because we had the previous knowledge of the sector head office were able to tweak some of the training so that we concentrated on the other areas. Although I had no experience of marketing or preparing a business forecast I already knew about the day to day running of a care service and the basic knowledge of how to recruit for the right candidates. I really would encourage experienced care managers to - I would say take the risk (but it’s not even that much of a risk!), and go for it!”

GoodOaks Homecare Testimonials

I decided to start my own business with GoodOaks because of their strong foundation and support system they have in place that’s built on experience and a shared commitment to care.

Selecting the right care franchise is critical. We are very fortunate in having GoodOaks. They showed us great commitment in the critical early days. From their directors through to all their key points of contact they have been friendly and supportive.
