I have gained valuable experience working in the NHS as a Community Nurse. I am passionate about Community Care, I have worked hard over the last few years providing a high quality care & support for people within the local borough. Starting a business within the Health and Social Care industry has been a long-term ambition for me. As a new service within the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham we are looking forward to meeting and providing a service to local people, groups and organisations. Most importantly, we look forward to making a difference within the local borough by providing a high quality care service for customers, creating job opportunities and supporting local organisations.

Laura Platkeviciute
Supervisor

I have joined Bluebird Care Barking and Dagenham as a Care Assistant in March 2020.

I was looking for a fulfilling job where I could make a difference to someone’s day but which was flexible to work around school hours, Bluebird Care had a lot to offer me: tons of training, support – both professional and emotional – and flexible working hours to suit family life. I had a passion for caring for my customers and loved working for Bluebird Care.


 I was delighted at the opportunity to progress in my career by joining the office team in May 2022 as a Care Supervisor,  where my role is to support the team of care assistants and ensure the delivery of a high-quality service to our customers. It is a very different role from that which I was doing previously, but I am enjoying every minute of it and using all the experiences and skills that I gained over 2 years as a member of Bluebird care team. Domiciliary Care can be challenging at times, but I am enjoying the interaction with my customers and their families, and of course supporting the network of care assistants.


I feel that I had achieved so much, both personal achievements and professional. I feels it’s a truly rewarding career and one that really opens your eyes to life in general, I met so many different characters along the way and gained memories that will last me a lifetime.
