“My dad used to receive care at home and one day I had to go and help him. As I was helping him back into bed he said to me that I was better than the carers that would come in to help him and maybe I should become a care assistant. I realised whilst helping with Dad’s care that I had found my calling and I changed careers overnight!

“I became a care assistant at Bluebird Care Bedford because they used to look after my mum in her final few weeks. I had been looking after mum for 18 months and after she passed away I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. I came along to a recruitment open day to find out more about being a care assistant.
I had a chat with Karen, MD, who offered me an interview on the spot and I was then offered the role later that day! This job is nothing like the previous jobs I have done before, which were office based admin roles.
I was very nervous when I first started but the amazing training I received and the support of the really lovely team made it enjoyable and fell in love with the job!
After working as a Care Assistant for a number of years I have pursued my own career goals and I am now working as part of the office team as the Office Administrator.”
