NCF Makes the Sunday Times Best Places to Work for the Second Year

The National Care Forum (NCF) has again been named one of the Sunday Times Best Places To Work, making the prestigious list in the small organisation category.

This nationwide workplace survey recognises and celebrates the UK’s top employers, showcasing organisations that are leading the way in employee engagement, workplace culture and overall employee experience.

NCF CEO Vic Rayner commented: “I’m thrilled that we have once again made the Sunday Times Best Places to Work list for 2026.  This has only been made possible thanks to the continued hard work of our incredible team and the pride they take in our mission to support and grow the not-for-profit care and support sector for everyone working in it and everyone receiving care from it.

“NCF has put much time, consideration and effort into being the best employer we can be and have implemented a new roster of staff incentives, benefits and wellbeing packages over the past couple of years. NCF staff with five or more years’ service are formally recognised and we have both flexible working and sabbatical policies available for staff to ensure they are maintaining the right work/life balance and have opportunities for personal development. In addition, we have been a Real Living Wage employer for many years.

“We are also very proud to be an Age-friendly Employer and Disability Confident Employer. These quality marks indicate our commitment to supporting staff of all ages and creating an inclusive, accessible and fair workplace for disabled people and those with long term health conditions.

“Taking our place yet again in this prestigious list means an incredible amount to me and the team I am very proud to lead. Coinciding with the tenth anniversary of my joining NCF makes it all the more meaningful and instils renewed energy in the shared commitment we all have to improving the experience of people delivering and accessing care and support and striving towards a better future where fairness and rights for all are respected.”
