A care provider with homes in Staffordshire has been named one of the best places to work in the UK.

Borough Care, which has homes in Leek and Stone, ranked highly in the 2026 UK's Best Workplaces list, placing at number 95 in the large organisations category.

The listing is based on confidential feedback shared by hundreds of thousands of employees at firms across the country.

"This recognition is especially meaningful to us", a Borough Care spokesperson said.

"While we've been proudly accredited as a Great Place to Work for the past two years, this is the first time we've made the UK's Best Workplaces List - a fantastic milestone for everyone across Borough Care.

"Even better, this achievement joins the Best Workplaces for Women, Best Workplaces in the Not-For-Profit sector, and Best Workplaces in the Healthcare sector awards we received last year. Safe to say our (virtual!) trophy cabinet is looking pretty full!

"What makes this recognition even more special is that it's based on feedback from our colleagues through the Great Place to Work survey. Their voices and experiences help shape our culture and ensure Borough Care continues to be a place where people feel supported, valued and able to thrive.

"To celebrate, members of our central support team visited our homes this morning to deliver Borough Care chocolate bars to every colleague - a small thank you for the huge contribution our teams make every day.

"A huge thank you to every member of the Borough Care team. This recognition truly belongs to all of you."

As well as Leek and Stone, Borough Care has other nearby homes in Bramhall, Bredbury, Brinnington, Cale Green, Davenport, Gatley, Hazel Grove and Offerton.

Their aim is to provide 'the safety and sanctuary of a warm and welcoming home' for vulnerable residents, but at the same time go to great effort to make life as interesting, enjoyable and colourful for the residents as possible.

"We refuse to accept that moving into residential care means life becomes grey and dull", Borough Care says. "We are all united in our aspiration to live life in colour."
