Care Workers & Domiciliary Care Uniforms
Home care is a different job to a hospital ward or a residential home: your team travels between visits, works alone in someone else's house, and needs to look reassuring on a stranger's doorstep. Easy-care tunics and polos, plus outerwear for getting between calls, branded with your logo. No minimum order.

The uniform is the first thing a client sees
Domiciliary care staff arrive alone at someone's front door, often to a client who is anxious about who is calling. A recognisable, clean, well-branded uniform does real work before a word is spoken: it says this is the agency I arranged, this person is who they say they are. That is a different job for a uniform to do than making a ward or care home team look uniform, and it changes what you should buy.
Reassurance on the doorstep
Consistent branding across every carer means clients and families recognise your agency at a glance, call after call.
Built for movement, not a ward
Care in someone's home involves bending, kneeling and manual handling in a domestic space, not a clinical one. Fit and freedom of movement matter as much as looks.
Weatherproof between calls
Carers are outside, on foot or between cars, far more than hospital or care home staff. A proper outer layer is not optional kit here.
The domiciliary care kit list
What most home care agencies end up ordering, and what each item is actually for.
Tunics
The core garment: professional, easy to launder frequently, and immediately recognisable as care staff rather than a visitor.
Polo shirts
A lighter, less clinical alternative to a tunic for agencies that want a softer, more everyday look. See branded polos and t-shirts.
Care trousers
Practical, easy-care trousers built for kneeling and bending rather than office wear.
Fleeces and softshells
For getting between calls in cold or wet weather without covering the tunic underneath entirely. Softshell vs fleece compared.
Waterproof jackets
Calls do not stop for rain, and a carer arriving soaked is not the reassuring image you want. See waterproof ratings explained.
ID and lanyard-friendly fit
Uniforms cut and finished so an ID badge sits visibly, which matters for a job built on trust in someone's home.
Easy-care fabrics
Frequent washing between shifts is normal in this role. Fabric choice should assume daily laundering, not occasional.
Footwear
Comfortable, supportive and easy to slip on and off, since carers are in and out of clients' homes constantly through a shift.
Warm layers for winter rounds
Early starts and evening calls in cold weather are routine in this role. See winter workwear.
Not the same brief as hospital or care home uniforms
We also supply teams working in hospitals and residential care homes, and it is a genuinely different brief. Ward and home-based teams work in one building with laundry and changing facilities on site. Domiciliary staff work from their own wardrobe and their own car, all day, in all weather, with no changing room between calls.
If you run a care home or ward team
See our page on healthcare uniforms for that setting specifically.
If your staff travel between clients
This page, and the kit list above, is built around that job.
Branding a care team
For a home care agency, the logo on a tunic is doing safeguarding work as much as marketing work. It confirms identity to a client or family member who may not otherwise know who to expect.
Consistent kit, every carer
Same logo, same placement, same colours, so clients recognise your team regardless of who is sent that day. See our logo placement guide.
Growing teams and turnover
Care staffing changes often. We keep your branding on file so reordering for a new starter is quick and consistent.

Common questions
What's different about domiciliary care uniforms versus care home uniforms?
Domiciliary staff travel between clients' homes all day rather than working one building, so outerwear, weatherproofing and easy-care fabric matter more. Care home and ward teams have a different brief, covered on our healthcare uniforms page.
How often can staff wash a tunic like this?
Care uniforms are generally chosen for frequent laundering. Follow the garment's own care label, and our care guide covers general workwear washing.
Can carers order just one or two sets to start?
Yes, there is no minimum order, so a small agency or a sole trader carer gets the same branding and pricing as a larger provider.
Do you offer an outer layer that still shows the tunic underneath?
Yes, softshells and lighter jackets are popular for this exact reason: they keep staff warm between calls without hiding the branded tunic entirely.
Can you match an agency's existing uniform colours?
In most cases, yes. Tell us your current colours and branding and we will match products as closely as the range allows.
