The role of a Sylvian Franchisee

Our business model is a ‘Management Franchise’. We do not expect you to personally provide the care. Instead, you’ll focus on recruiting and nurturing a skilled team, whilst you focus on driving growth through effective decision-making and planning.

As a Sylvian Care franchisee, your responsibilities will include:

  • Leadership: Oversee day-to-day operations, inspire your team, and maintain high-quality care standards.
  • Client Relations: Engage with clients and their families to ensure continued satisfaction.
  • Compliance: Ensure adherence to care regulator standards and requirements.         
  • Financial Oversight: Handle cash flow, invoicing, and maintain profitability.
  • Marketing: Foster community relationships and expand your client base.

While you’ll start off with a hands-on approach, you'll be able to delegate tasks as the business expands, giving you more time to focus on long-term growth.

“The biggest support we had, at the beginning, was in gaining clients and recruiting staff. Moving forward, we still have loads of support, like the Sylvian Academy. It is fantastic and makes a serious difference.” Sylvian Care Southampton

What we look for in a franchise partner

Caring for some of the most vulnerable individuals in our society is a huge responsibility. We are very proud of our brand and the reputation that we have built. As you would expect, we are seeking great individuals who share our values. To join Sylvian Care, you will need to be:

  • Willing to learn regulatory compliance
  • Able to follow a proven model and business structure
  • Ready to commit to Sylvian Care as a full-time venture
  • Prepared to manage a large team

You need an entrepreneurial mindset, although we would argue that you shouldn’t be an out-and-out ‘entrepreneur’ as we will expect you to follow the systems that have made us successful. 

“I was a qualified social worker but always interested in working with elderly people and providing care. We’ve had an amazing hand-holding experience. We are on a journey of success. We learn different things each and every day, setting us up for the future.” Sylvian Care Leicester West

Meet the Team: Emma Chappell - Supporting Future Sylvian Care Franchise Owners

Emma’s career journey began early, shaped by a strong work ethic instilled by her mother. At just 14, she set out into her hometown of Loughborough with a stack of CVs, determined to find her first job.

Along the way she explored retail, e-commerce and estate agency before making a bold decision to leave her job without another lined up. That leap led her into franchising—a sector she quickly realised felt like home and where she continues to thrive today.
