Uniforms for Every Role in Your Care Home
Why branded uniforms matter in care
A well-chosen uniform does more than look tidy. It helps residents and relatives recognise care staff quickly, especially when several agencies or roles share the same corridors. Colour-coding by role, for example navy for carers and teal for seniors, makes that even clearer without anyone having to ask.
Branded clothing also protects your reputation outside the building. Staff who accompany residents to appointments, or who work in domiciliary care between visits, carry your name into the community. An embroidered logo that stays sharp after repeated washing says you care about the detail.
We supply trusted workwear brands including Uneek, Portwest, Regatta, Fruit of the Loom and Result, so you can match comfort, durability and budget without guessing.
Choosing garments by role
Different roles need different layers. Most care homes settle on a small set of core pieces, then add warmer layers for staff who move between buildings or work outdoors.
Tunics, scrubs and tabards are the everyday choice for carers and clinical staff. They're easy to put on, simple to launder and leave room for a left-chest logo. Browse our scrubs, tunics and tabards.
Polo shirts suit carers, activity coordinators and managers who want something a little smarter for day-to-day wear, with men's, women's and unisex fits in a wide range of colours. See our embroidered polo shirts.
Fleeces and sweatshirts keep staff warm on early starts, night rounds and trips between buildings. Fleece takes embroidery especially well. Explore men's fleeces, women's fleeces and sweatshirts.
Soft shell jackets work for community and domiciliary teams who are in and out of cars in all weathers. They block wind and light rain without the bulk of a heavy coat. See men's soft shells and women's soft shells, or the full jackets and fleeces range.
Aprons are useful for housekeeping and kitchen staff, and adding your logo keeps the look consistent across the home. Browse our embroidered and printed aprons.
If you're not sure where to start, tell us how many staff you have and which roles you need to distinguish, and we'll suggest a practical mix.
Embroidery or print for care uniforms?
Care uniforms are washed often, and often at higher temperatures. For most tunics, polos and fleeces, embroidery is the better choice, because the stitched logo holds its shape and colour wash after wash and looks smart on the left chest. Print suits larger designs, such as a name or website across the back of a fleece or soft shell, or a short run of event wear.
We can do either, or a mix of both on the same order. Send us your logo and we'll advise on the finish that suits each garment. We keep artwork on file so reorders stay consistent.
Colour-coding roles the simple way
Most homes want carers, senior carers, nurses, housekeeping, kitchen and maintenance staff to be visually distinct. The easiest approach is one garment style in a handful of colours, with the same embroidered logo on every piece. That keeps ordering straightforward and means new starters can be matched to the rest of the team without a full redesign.
We'll help you pick colours that stay available from season to season and read clearly under care home lighting. If your brand guidelines already specify colours, we'll work to those.
Full team kits and top-ups for new starters
We're well set up for larger orders, whether that's kitting out a whole home, rolling out a new uniform across a group of sites, or refreshing everyone's kit at once. We also keep minimum orders low, so once your logo is set up, topping up a few polos or tunics for a new starter is straightforward.
We aim to dispatch within 7 to 10 days of artwork approval. If you have an opening date or an inspection to prepare for, let us know and we'll plan around it.

Frequently asked questions
What uniforms work best for care home staff?
Tunics or scrub tops for floor staff, polo shirts for a smarter day-to-day look, and fleeces or soft shells for anyone moving between buildings or working in the community. Many homes use the same logo across all of those layers so the team looks consistent.
Can we use different colours for different roles?
Yes. Choosing one or two garment styles in several colours is the simplest way to tell carers, seniors, nurses and support staff apart. We'll help you pick shades that stay available and suit your branding.
Is embroidery better than print for care uniforms?
For garments that are washed often, embroidery usually lasts longer and looks neater on the chest. Print is useful for larger back designs. We can advise once we see your logo and the garments you have in mind.
Can you handle a full uniform rollout as well as small top-ups?
Yes. We regularly supply full team kits and multi-site rollouts, and our low minimum orders mean topping up sizes for a new starter is easy once your logo is on file.
