This is Care
as it should be.

We know family can come from anywhere. It’s our privilege to care for over 7,000 residents across the UK – treating each and every person as if they were part of our family.

A caring nature makes all the difference. Everything our people do comes from the heart and has remarkable results. Care can be physically and emotionally demanding but that's what makes it so rewarding.

Our
purpose

Bupa’s purpose is helping people live longer, healthier, happier lives and making a better world. We do this by providing a broad range of healthcare services, support and advice to people throughout their lives. People are at the heart of everything we do. Together, we make health happen.

Our
values

Every company needs an ethos, and we're no different. Through good days and challeging times, we always work with our values in mind. These are: Brave - Make new possibilities happen. Caring - Act with empathy and respect. Responsible - Own your decisions and actions.

We don't have shareholders at Bupa, which means we're free to invest our profits where they matter: our patients, our facilities, our research, and you. 

As a healthcare provider, we have a duty to do the right thing. By our customers, our people and our partners. The Bupa Code holds us to this duty. It's our promise to protect, care for, and build trust with everyone who relies on us.

You’ll find an inclusive environment where you can be yourself and where everyone is driven by the same purpose – helping people live longer, healthier, happier lives and making a better world.Free
to be you.

Back in September 2018, we made a pledge. That we'd do whatever we could to make Bupa a diverse, kind and inclusive place to work.

Everyone deserves a positive working environment. Everyone deserves to have their voice heard. Everyone deserves freedom from bullying, harassment and discrimination.
