Welcome to Bluebird Care Careers in Bromley

Olga was educated in England and South Africa and is currently working to complete her qualification as a CIMA Management Accountant. She is the in-house accountant responsible for the three franchised agencies owned by BenJeMax Limited, the Bromley office holding company, which include the agencies in Sevenoaks and Lewisham and Southwark. Olga has been with the company since May 2014, and this is her first foray into the Care sector.

Having worked in many areas such as Architecture, Security, Interior Design and the Oil and Gas industry, Olga decided it was time to get out of the "Central London rat race" and seek a position closer to home with an easier commute.

She finds Bluebird Care a breath of fresh air! She enjoys working with her Care Sector colleagues and really values her contact with the agencies' wonderful customers with whom she has developed great relationships - even though they only speak to her to pay or query their bills! Olga feels that customers all seem to appreciate the hard work that everyone puts in, and in doing so, she gets a real sense of accomplishment.

Kelly is the newest appoint Live-In Care Supervisor, joining the team in May 2023.

Kelly completed her level 3 Health and Social Care in 2018 and since then, she has a real interest in care planning, person centred care is in the forefront of her job role, she knows that no two people are the same and their care should reflect this. 

Kelly really enjoys the dynamics of the office, she feels her training and onboarding has been exceptional, she looks forward to a long and happy future with Bluebird Care.

Becky's career in the Care sector began in 2007 as a Support Worker working with adults with challenges around their mental health, including dementia.

With this experience Becky joined Bluebird Care Sevenoaks as a Care Assistant shortly after the office opened in 2012. Within a year, Becky's excellent work with customers earned her progression to Supervisor level, a role she enjoyed immensely. With a change in management in 2018, Becky was promoted to Deputy Manager and became Registered Care Manager herself less than a year later. 

 After having a child and getting married Becky has taken on the role of Marketing Manager. She believes passionately in the Bluebird Care ethos. She has really enjoyed the variety of her roles as well as the occasional challenges and looks forward to a new role within Bluebird Care.

Becky continues to take great pride in being part of a team that not only provides a first-class service enabling vulnerable adults to remain living independently in their own homes, but who also offers fanstasic career opportunities to anyone wanting to join the Bluebird Care team.

Julien began his career in the training sector, he was a childcare assessor for 12 years and wanted to continue to work in a role where he helped people and made a difference. He heard that Bluebird Care provided quality care for their customers and wanted to be part of that.

Julien initially started working for Bluebird Care in a Maternity Cover Recruitment role, this involved recruiting staff for the Sevenoaks and Lewisham offices. When this ended a fantastic opportunity came up where he could meet our customers and find out their history and their preferences. He really enjoy this role, it was so lovely to meet our customers and find out their life histories.

Recently, Julien has been appointed as the Training Coordinator, He delivers our Skills Assessment and Refresher training to all staff in Bromley, Sevenoaks and Lewisham.

Julien says 'I enjoy seeing new people, training them about the care industry and what the role of a care worker involves. Our focus throughout training is delivering person centred care in a safe manner, respecting privacy, dignity and independence. Bluebird Care is a quality care provider. It has an individual approach to its customers and carers, and you feel that you are part of something special. It really feels like a family environment, where everyone is welcomed, valued, respected and cared for.'

Vicki has only recently joined Bluebird care in June 2023. She has always worked in Administration and has enjoyed the variety these roles have given her.

She does not come from a care background, but secured a role as a  recruitment administrator with a care company 2 years ago. She then came to realize how rewarding employing the right carer for the customers is. So, she took the plunge and applied as a recruiter with Bluebird Care.

She loves how the carers she interviews are dedicated, caring and compassionate about providing the best care for our customers and how rewarding hiring the right candidate for our customer’s needs.

Daphne began her career in the Care sector in 2004 as an Administrator for a Care Coordinator of a large provider delivering mainly Social Service contracts, working her way up to becoming a Coordinator in her own right. This has proven to be invaluable experience, as Coordination is very much the “engine room” of any home care agency!

Since then, she has worked as a Care Supervisor, Service Quality Assessor and Deputy Manager, working mostly with palliative care patients and with young adults with special needs.

Daphne joined Bluebird Care in October 2019 as a Field Care Supervisor, though given her extensive experience was quickly asked to oversee the Live-in Care side of the business, before being promoted to Deputy Manager, and most recently to Registered Manager.

Daphne feels Bluebird Care Bromley provides an exceptional standard of care for its customers, and that within the office, everyone has confidence in their colleagues as part of a high-performing team, which facilitates a positive working environment in which everybody pulls together and no one gets left behind.

Outside of work Daphne enjoys cooking and spending time with her children, and ever-increasing brood of grandchildren!
