Maryann Cleaver & Hannah Lakey
Live-in Care Team

It is important to us all that we dedicate our full time role's to the management of Live in Care for our customers and our Live in Care assistant's, to ensure this aspect of our business is managed effectively and to the highest of quality standards. 

Live in Care is classed as a significant purchase, and whilst more cost effective than a residential setting the management of each individual Live in Care package requires a lot of time and attention.  If you would like to learn more about how we manage our Live in Care Package's and support our Live in Care assistant’s please navigate to our Live in Care FAQ's under the useful information tab on our website.

Whilst we are all well experienced in this service, we never lose sight of the difference we make in our customer's life’s. Being able to remain safe at home is a dream of many of our customer's and their families.  We work to make that dream a reality, ensuring that the customer is safe, happy and living their life to their full potential in the familiar surroundings of their own home.

Natasha Schneider
Senior Manager and Designated Safeguarding Lead

Hi there, my name is Natasha and I am the Senior Manager and Designated Safeguarding Lead of Bluebird Care Epping & Harlow. I have worked within the care sector since I was 16 years old and have had the pleasure in managing children’s services, learning disability short breaks and four years ago returned to manage Mid Essex adult care provision. My passion is ensuring that every individual receives exceptional care and that every day a little touch of magic is sprinkled to all those involved at Bluebird Care, staff, customers and their families.

Sam Archer
Learning and Development Manager

I have worked in the care sector for the last 13 years in several different areas of health and social care including domiciliary care, adult social care, caring for children and young people with disabilities, complex medical needs and specialising in safeguarding children and adults. I have a passion for Teaching and Learning and helping others achieve their aspirations. Mostly recently I have been working with learners to achieve their Level 3, Level 4 and Level 5 qualifications in Health and Social Care. Within my job role, supporting others to develop their skills and knowledge and seeing that progression over a number of years has made me desire to work within the Education and Training field of the care sector. I find great satisfaction in using my experiences and knowledge to empower others to be the best they can be and in turn provide exceptional care for our customers.

Lucy McCormack
Director

I often joke that “Bluebird Care is in my blood.” This is because I was born into the Bluebird Care family, with both parents ambitious and hardworking directors. As an inspirational leader, I can set a goal and do everything in my power to achieve it, which empowers those around me

One of my personal ethos is championing career development. I am enthusiastic about the personal and professional development of my team members throughout Bluebird Care Essex and their surrounding offices.

I believe in our Bluebird Care vision, which invites my team and those around me to adopt a similar clarity of mind. My role today is centered around identifying where the business would benefit from extra attention and efficiencies, and actively working alongside the office and care teams to facilitate solutions.
