Personalised workwear for care assistants and elderly care teams

If you support older people in care homes or out in the community, you need uniform layers that are warm, practical and easy to wear all day. This category is built for care workers doing home visits, rounds, medication support, personal care and day-to-day tasks — with embroidery that helps you look professional and instantly identifiable.

Most customers personalise with a tidy left-chest layout, such as:

• Name (first name, or first name + initial)
• Role (Care Assistant, Senior Carer, Support Worker, Team Leader)
• Team wording (Community Care, Home Care, Dementia Team, Night Staff)

Best layers for home visits, care homes and community work

Care work often means moving between buildings, stepping outside, and working in environments that run hot and cold. Here’s what usually works best:

• Fleeces: brilliant for warmth without bulk — great for early starts, commutes and draughty corridors.
• Hoodies: comfy and warm for travel and day-to-day tasks, especially for community teams.
• Zippies (zip hoodies): easy on/off layering when you’re in and out of cars, houses and entrances all day.
• Sweatshirts: a neat, simple option if you want something warmer than a polo but less bulky than a coat.

If you’re trying to keep things consistent across a team, choose one core colour and standardise the embroidery layout for everyone.

Why personalised care workwear makes a difference

Personalisation isn’t just about looking smart — it helps with trust and clarity. When you’re visiting someone at home or working with vulnerable elderly clients, a clear name and role makes introductions easier and can help people feel more comfortable. It also helps reduce mix-ups in shared staff areas and keeps your uniform clearly “yours”.

Important information about personalisation

We create personalised workwear for NHS staff and healthcare professionals. Vivid Promotion is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official supplier to the NHS, and we do not supply NHS logos or crests. Personalisation is typically names, roles and departments, or approved artwork you have permission to use.
