Bupa

We're the destination for people looking to live longer, healthier, and happier lives and making a better world. We’re a global healthcare company caring for over 60 million customers. We help people navigate change, conquer challenges, overcome injury and be all they can be. From early years through to retirement, we’re privileged to have been part of millions of lives around the world since 1947.

We’re proud of cultivating a culture that puts the welfare of people first. We believe in the importance of building an inclusive and agile culture which encourages diverse perspectives and inspires people to make new possibilities happen. We're passionate about doing the right thing for our customers, people, communities, and planet.

Our values are simple, but they run deep. They help guide how we work and what we look for in our people.

Brave - Make new possibilities happen
Caring - Act with empathy and respect
Responsible - Own your decisions and actions

Our vision is to provide world class care to each and every one of our wonderful residents, so they can live a life they truly love. In our care homes we're like a family, and we really mean that! Our residents and people tell us they feel it too. We don’t ever take it for granted that we get to take care of over 6,000 wonderful residents across the UK – we see it as a privilege.

If you have a caring nature, love to have fun and want to join us in providing the very best care to our residents, then you're in the right place.

Being a global business, we offer more opportunities than any other healthcare provider. Our investment in learning is designed to ensure you thrive, whatever that looks like for you.

We know that great health comes from feeling safe, happy, and fulfilled in all aspects of your life. That's why we offer a range of programmes and benefits to help both our people, and their families stay healthy and happy for longer.

We regularly listen to and act on what our amazing people tell us about working here. Some may say that listening is our superpower, which is why we are now considered World Class! We ask our people twice a year through a survey how they feel about working in all areas of the Bupa business. The results put us in the top 10% of places to work, not just in the UK, but across the world!

Learning & Development

When it comes to learning and development, we’ll give you all the support you need to progress in your role. Our online learning platform offers a range of opt-in learning modules to support you in your role, alongside on-the-job coaching, and support from your manager. From apprenticeships to specialist roles, we set goals, regularly check in on progress, and review achievements – that’s how we thrive.

Early Careers 

If you're just starting your career, Bupa is the perfect place to begin. We offer lots of exciting opportunities in a range of different fields, so you can find the perfect role for you. And with our focus on shaping the future of healthcare, you know that you'll be making a difference in the world, wherever you work. Everyone has the potential to achieve great things, no matter where they start from; our programmes and schemes are designed to set you on an exciting career journey. Whether you’re still studying or have just graduated, there are plenty of ways to start your journey with Bupa.

As a healthcare provider, we know there's an inextricable link between the health of the planet and the health of people. Bupa has made climate action a priority, and that's why we follow a sustainability strategy focused on building a healthy future.

We will do this through three missions: 

1. Reducing the impact of healthcare on the environment.
2. Helping accelerate the adoption of sustainable healthcare that also keeps people healthy.
3. Helping regenerate the health of our planet in ways that makes people healthier too.

Giving back matters

Giving back is what gives us purpose, and as a healthcare service, we have a duty of care to everyone in our local community. The Bupa Foundation is a charity, funded entirely by Bupa to help create healthier communities, by running and helping fund practical projects that improve both people and planet health. Since 2015 the Bupa Foundation has given over £10 million in grants to more than 800 organisations across the UK to improve health and the environment.

At Bupa we celebrate diversity, welcoming everyone from all backgrounds. We embrace our differences so we can bring our true selves to work. Having a diverse workforce is a key strength of the Bupa culture, and we understand the importance of making sure our workforce fully represents the communities in which we operate and the customers we serve, across the globe. We want people to feel comfortable and free to bring their whole self to work every day – and that’s why we launched our ‘Be You’ network.
