Guardian Angel Carers provide franchisees with a kickstart to success

Care franchise Guardian Angel Carers’ ‘outstanding’-rated HQ blueprint branch is built on a proven, profitable, and agile business model. Award-winning care training and industry-leading technology and systems underpin the model, allowing franchisees to outperform the competition.

Empowering our franchisees

The brand has recently delivered their newly developed leadership and strategy training for new franchisees and it’s safe to say, given the feedback they received from the particpants, it was a roaring success:

“Thank you for all the time, energy and effort you put into supporting us, it is very much appreciated and we are very happy!”

“I feel like I’m in the right place at the right time and everything is coming together perfectly.”

“I feel like buying a Guardian Angel Carers franchise, we have fast-forwarded our business by 5 years!”

Understanding that new franchise owner training is the make-or-break of how quickly a franchise owner optimises their business success, Guardian Angel Carers’ team of franchise experts have designed a recipe for success. Their approach is centred around leadership, strategy and growth, whilst focusing on the individual needs of their franchisees.

Tailored to individual needs

Recognising that training cannot be a ‘one size-fits-all’ approach, the Guardian Angel Carers franchise has adopted a blend of classroom, online, e-learning and one-to-one coaching as part of their new franchisee training programme.

Daniel Ayton, Head of Operations said: “The care that we expect franchisees to deliver to their clients is based on a person-centred, holistic approach. Therefore, we must practice what we preach and ensure our franchisees are receiving the same approach when it comes to support from headquarters.

The training programme has been developed to focus on the individual needs of each franchisee, and through focused coaching, mentoring, and supporting, that is delivered by the support team, business coaches, and practicing franchisees, we identify the areas of support that franchisees are going to benefit the most from, rather than providing it in areas that they don’t necessarily need it.”

Journey to success

Training starts with a week at the headquarters in the picturesque village of Apuldram in Chichester. During that week, franchisees are taken on a journey of transition into a confident, motivated, home care business owner, covering vital areas including franchisee/franchisor relationships, profitability and marketing – leaving with the knowledge and tools to ensure the best possible start to the journey with a Guardian Angel Carers franchised business.

Following the initial training week, franchisees are supported by a team of experts who will work with them individually to develop a schedule of ongoing, blended training.

Tried and tested

The brand also runs three of its own fully operational home care branches. Tried and tested, and the testbed for innovation, the model helps franchisees to start with confidence. In a decade it has grown from a team of three to 200-strong. An exemplar of excellence, with its CQC Outstanding, award-winning training programme, and forward-looking use of enabling care technology, they allow franchisees to offer best practice and services for clients.
