Care Professional Conference 2025

This week Home Instead York celebrates its 16th anniversary with the launch of its inaugural Care Professional Conference.

We’re incredibly proud to share that Home Instead has recently been ranked as the 3rd Best Employer in the UK by The Financial Times — a recognition that feels especially timely as we’ve just delivered our very first Care Professional Conference.

Held at St Aelred’s Community Centre, the event was designed to demonstrate how seriously our franchise takes the wellbeing and support of our care professionals.

With a strong focus on wellbeing, the afternoon brought together local experts including Lou Harrand from Yoga Bomb, Mike from Aksis Lifestyle, and Janette – also known as ‘The Chair Lady’. Together, they offered practical insights into mindfulness, nutrition, and movement, all tailored to help our care professionals and their clients stay healthy, active, and well.

The sessions were a huge hit:

“Home Instead is really invested in their staff and this event is a good way to get together but also to learn valuable skills which will help us daily at work.”
Nicola, Care Professional

Our Managing Director, Ann-Marie, who hosted the day, shared:

“Our care professionals are our greatest asset, and their health and wellbeing is incredibly important — so they can continue delivering outstanding care and support to our clients.”

At Home Instead York, Scarborough, and Ryedale, we are deeply committed to supporting the incredible individuals who go above and beyond every single day. Their compassion and dedication continue to inspire us.
