Welcome to Bluebird Care Careers in Bromley

Home Care in Bromley is provided through a franchise which is owned by Steve and Lesley Davie and their family. Steve is a Chartered Accountant with many years’ experience of organising the delivery of high quality professional services to demanding customers.

In addition to his accountancy profession background, Steve has several years experience in service-orientated consumer facing businesses at the 'high end' of the retail sector. This background, together with the support and experience of the Bluebird Care franchisor, has made it possible for Steve to create a stable operating platform from which the team’s Care specialists can provide structured and high quality care services to a range of customers within the Borough of Bromley.

In addition to his Bromley Home Care responsibilities, Steve is a Governor at the University of Greenwich, treasurer of his local residents association in Beckenham, husband of more than 30 years to Lesley, father of three grown up children, and a lifelong and (after many years of misery) ultimately rewarded supporter of Manchester City football club.

Steve decided to provide Home Care in Bromley and become a Bluebird Care franchisee because he wanted to bring his knowledge and energy to a worthwhile activity that will bring benefits to vulnerable people in his residential area. The 'Good Old-Fashioned Service' ethos of Bluebird Care matches Steve’s attitude to work, and he is committed to creating a Care service that is treasured by its customers.

Rebecca joined Bluebird Care Bromley as a Care Assistant in 2011. Her daughter was just starting primary school and she was looking for a full time job that could work around school hours. A career in Care wasn’t something that she had planned, but for a young mum wanting to get back into work, Bluebird Care had a lot to offer her: tons of training, support – both professional and emotional – and flexible working hours to suit family life. As the years went by, Rebecca grew a real passion for caring for her customers and loved working for Bluebird Care.
 
She was delighted at the opportunity to progress in her career by joining the Office Team in May 2018 as Field Care Supervisor for Live-in Care, where her role is to support the team of Live-in Care Assistants and ensure the delivery of a high quality service to our Live-in Care customers. It is a very different role from that which she was doing previously, but she’s enjoying every minute of it and using all the experiences and skills that she gained over 7 years as a member of the Care Team. Live-in Care can be challenging at times, but she’s enjoying the interaction with her customers and their families, and of course supporting the network of Live-in Care Assistants.
 
Rebecca is a true Bluebird Care success story: she feel she’s achieved so much, both personal achievements and professional. She feels it’s a truly rewarding career and one that really opens your eyes to life in general. She says she’s met so many different characters along the way and gained memories that will last her a life time.

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.

Irene’s working life has been quite varied. She began as an accounts assistant for EMI Records in Hayes, Middlesex. Her career then went from being a secretary to an IT specialist working for Land Rover Leyland and then LASMO Oil and Gas.

She then owned a newsagent shop in Bexhill-on-Sea. After moving to Southend-on-Sea and studying for accounting qualifications, she has worked in an Accounting role since 2002. She moved to Kent and joined Bluebird Care Bromley in the Accounts Department in 2016.
 
Irene enjoys her interactions with the agency's customers and finds everyone at Bluebird Care Bromley friendly and helpful. It’s a very pleasant place to work.
