Welcome to Bluebird Care Careers in Braintree & Uttlesford

My journey with Bluebird Care started when my Father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I was working as a Senior Social worker for Essex County Council and thought it would be a simple task to find a quality care company to support both my father and mother at our family home in Tendring. Unfortunately, this was not the case and proved to be a very difficult task.

During my search for a company that cared for its customers and shared my values I found Bluebird Care, however its services were not provided in the Tendring area. My experience and difficulty with finding the right provider made me realise how significantly I wanted to make a positive difference in the community to help and support people in their own homes and deliver the quality of care they deserve.

In March 2010 Bluebird Care Colchester & Tendring first opened its offices in Wivenhoe providing care across the Tendring and Colchester areas. Since 2010 the company has grown vastly and is continuing to do so, now providing care throughout North East Essex. We are committed to our customers and our staff, many of which have been with us from the beginning.

 “Would this be what I would want for my family?” This question is something that is imbedded in our team’s values and drives them to provide the best possible care to our customers. Our mission statement since the first day has been “we aim to set standards of excellence and innovation for the care we provide our customers and for the training and support we give to our staff” and this still remains at the heart of the business.

If you would like to speak to me about home care please do not hesitate to get in touch.

I have a passion for delivering high standards of care within the Care Sector. My experience is approximately 11 years with the vast majority in residential care. 

I have extensive experience working with people who have dementia. I am really excited to be a part of the bluebird family and extend my knowledge and experience into different aspects of community care. I speak four languages making me multilingual.

I graduated university with a degree in Business Management in 2016 and joined Bluebird Care in June 2018 after a stint within the financial industry. I am now the Recruitment Manager, which is a very official title for the person who gets to meet lots of people passionate about care and organised all of the fun events and competitions in and out of the office.

Hi, my name is Michelle and I’m the supervisor here at the Braintree and Uttlesford branch.

We are expanding as company, and It is my job to make sure that staff meet the high standards that are required to maintain a good quality and person-centred service. I trained as a nurse and have 16 years’ experience in the healthcare sector so bring with me a variety of experience to the role

Prior to working I raised my four children and fostered too. I am very family orientated and like to spend my spare time with my children and grandchildren whom I adore. I do not have any wild or wonderful hobbies, but I love to travel, listen to music, and enjoy cleaning! I like nothing more than to see a job well done and feel that I’ve achieved my best.

Be yourself, everyone else is taken
