Welcome to Bluebird Care Careers in Edinburgh

14 years ago, Angela, or Angie as some will call her, experienced care at home as she looked after her grandfather. After he sadly passed away, she realised that she had a desire to help others receive the same quality standard of care and bring smiles to their faces.

She joined us as a Care Assistant, where she quickly progressed to On-Call Coordinator, then to Supervisor but assisted with coordinating when needed. When the opportunity arose to be the full-time coordinator. With her experience, Angela is now a Senior Coordinator. She predominately looks after Edinburgh but also supports and leads our other coordinators so overseas all 3 offices.

She has successfully completed her SVQ4 in Health and Social Care and achieved the James Watt Level 2 Dementia certificate.

Angie has a bubbly personality and is always trying to bring life and soul to the party, she loves a cheeky drink on an evening, her dogs and keeping fit.

Years ago, Tracie took on an opportunity to help run and build a cleaning business. 20 years later, this was built into a national company employing more than 1000 team members. Tracie’s main role was Director of Finance and Administration.

She then decided to give herself a new challenge and set up a cleaning business of her own. This quickly turned into more of a care role as she would help the older customers with personal care as well as their cleaning. She found this the most rewarding so when an opportunity came up in 2011 to work with Bluebird Care she jumped at it.

Since then, she has had several roles within the team, but she now manages payrolls for all 3 of our offices along with taking a lead on the well-being of our team. As she’s in with the bricks with her length of service and has a wealth of experience for caring for our customers and what it’s like to carry out multiple roles, she has taken the opportunity to looks for ways to improve our team’s well-being.

In her own time, you’ll find her spending time with her family. One of her favourite things to do is to make sure her house is always seasonally decorated, Halloween and Christmas are a firm favourite.

Lindsey joined our team as a Care Assistant after looking for home care for her mum. The way her Care Assistants looked after her mum struck a chord with her and she wanted to be able to help keep people comfortable at home. She loved making a difference in people’s lives.

She then moved into the recruitment team, helping to ensure that we recruited more quality Care Assistants into our team. Whilst in this role, she quickly found that training also excited her.

Lindsey took over our learning and development to ensure all new starters received the Bluebird Care Way training. But not only this, she ensured all our team had refresher training, so everyone was up-to-date and equipped for all situations.

As we’ve changed our Recruitment journey, Lindsey has done a full circle and gone back to her Recruitment position to ensure she can support our teams to hire the very best people. She predominantely looks after our Edinburgh office, but she does assist with Ayrshire & Glasgow South where required.

In her spare time you'll find her spending quality time with her family and walking her dog.

Robbie is our Chief Happiness Officer, whilst he's mainly in our Edinburgh office, he on occassion take a car drive over to Ayrshire and Glasgow South. He's a Labrador and Deerhound cross and lives with our directors; Jane and John.

His key tasks are to spread cheer through our offices. Whilst our Care Assistants make sure our customers smile, Robbie is responsible for making our team smile. He’s not exactly on the payroll, but you will find him around the office looking for treats and scratches. 

John has worked in customer facing roles for over 30 years as a Territory Manager with Tennent’s and other account management roles and is acutely aware of the importance of good customer service.

With John’s experience, you’ll normally find that he’s the first point of contact when someone is looking for care for themselves or a loved one. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about providing a quality customer service experience. He always takes the time to understand the customer’s needs, ensuring they have all the information required to make an informed decision of who cares for either themselves or a loved one.

Outside of work, John loves spending time with his family. He has 2 boys; Nick and Adam along with 2 granddaughters; Eva and Alyssa. He’s a long-suffering Hibs fan and a very competitive 8 handicap golfer. You’ll also find him listening to 70s & 80’s soul music.
