About The Company

We’d like to take a minute to introduce ourselves. Our name is CCH Group. We were founded in 2009 and have grown to become the largest care company in the UK. We’re pretty proud of that, as the bigger we are, the more people we can look after. We span the UK with more than 260 sites – from the rugged highlands of Scotland to the bustling streets of greater London – and every point in between. Our 13,000 employees deliver a whopping 1.5 million hours of care each month. Each minute, each hour of our time is dedicated to keeping someone comfortable, safe, and happy. Because that is what we do. We are made up of 32 operating companies but have one vision: to become the best place to work in care. We firmly believe that putting our people at the heart of the company is not only the right thing to do, but will also ensure that they are in the best position to provide extraordinary care to everyone who relies on us.
